M88SSTE32882H0 (DDR3 RCD)

Product Description

M88SSTE32882H0 is a JEDEC-compliant Registering Clock Driver (RCD) with data rates up to 1866MT/s for DDR3/DDR3L/DDR3U RDIMM applications. The chip is 28-bit 1:2, or 26-bit 1:2 and 4-bit 1:1 configurable with parity check for address/command signals. It supports 1.5V/1.35V/1.25V VDD supply and Quad Chip Selects mode.

The device buffers the input address and control signals and redrives two copies per signal. Based on control register settings, the characteristics of the output signal can be modified to match different DIMM net topologies, while certain unused output ports can be disabled to reduce power consumption.

In addition to the functions listed in the JEDEC spec, M88SSTE32882H0 offers extra functions, including a register reading mechanism (patented) that utilizes the existing pins of the chip to monitor its internal working status, a transparent mode that helps check DRAM defects, and a dynamic frequency switching mode that helps reduce system power consumption.
