Product details
Overview
CDC319DBR from Texas Instruments is a high-speed, low-skew 1-to-10 clock buffer IC designed for SDRAM clock distribution in memory subsystems. It operates at 3.3 V, delivers <250 ps output skew and <500 ps pulse skew, supports up to two unbuffered SDRAM DIMMs, and integrates an I²C interface for per-output enable control.
For engineers reviewing the CDC319DBR datasheet, CDC319DBR pinout, CDC319DBR application, or CDC319DBR equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C-configurable output enables, 28-pin SSOP (DB) package compatibility, SDRAM timing compliance, and 0°C to 70°C industrial temperature operation.
Technical Context
The CDC319DBR implements a synchronous clock fanout architecture with distributed VCC/GND pins to minimize switching noise. Its I²C slave interface operates at 100 kHz, uses internally pulled-up SDATA/SCLOCK lines (140 kΩ), and accesses three write-only 8-bit registers for granular output control.
All 10 outputs are grouped as four 1Y/2Y outputs (pins 2–3, 6–7, 22–23, 26–27) and two 3Y feedback outputs (pins 11, 18), each individually controllable via I²C register bits. The OE input provides global 3-state control with internal pullup.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDCLVC1107PW | LVCMOS 1-to-10 buffer with no I²C interface; fixed-enable outputs; 3.3-V only; 16-pin TSSOP | Lacks per-output enable control; requires external logic for dynamic gating; smaller footprint but no serial configurability | Select when I²C control is unnecessary and board space is constrained |
| PI6C20400LEX | PCI Express Gen1 clock buffer with 1-to-4 fanout; integrated spread-spectrum; 3.3-V; 32-pin QFN | Designed for PCIe clock trees-not SDRAM; lacks I²C register space; higher integration but incompatible output grouping | Select for PCI Express timing systems where SDRAM buffering is not required |
Compared with CDCLVC1107PW and PI6C20400LEX, the CDC319DBR uniquely combines I²C-configurable per-output enables, SDRAM-optimized low skew, and 28-pin SSOP packaging-making it the only option supporting dynamic, software-controlled clock gating in legacy SDRAM memory subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the CDC319DBR?
The CDC319DBR supports up to 140 MHz at a 15-pF capacitive load per output, as specified in Figure 4 of the SCAS590A datasheet. At higher loads (e.g., 30 pF), the maximum usable frequency drops to 100 MHz. This performance enables compliance with PC133 SDRAM and early DDR-266 timing requirements when used with properly terminated transmission lines.
Does the CDC319DBR require external pullup resistors on its I²C lines?
No, the CDC319DBR integrates 140-kΩ pullup resistors on both SDATA (Pin 14) and SCLOCK (Pin 15), eliminating the need for external components. These internal pullups are sufficient for standard-mode I²C operation at 100 kHz and support direct connection to 3.3-V or 5-V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry.
How many SDRAM DIMMs can the CDC319DBR drive simultaneously?
The CDC319DBR is explicitly characterized to support up to two unbuffered SDRAM DIMMs, as stated in the device description and functional overview. Its 10-output architecture-grouped as eight byte-lane clocks (1Y0–1Y3, 2Y0–2Y3) plus two feedback outputs (3Y0–3Y1)-is optimized for dual-DIMM configurations with independent enable control per lane.
What is the function of the 3Y0 and 3Y1 outputs on the CDC319DBR?
The 3Y0 (Pin 11) and 3Y1 (Pin 18) outputs on the CDC319DBR are designated as 3.3-V clock outputs for feedback control of external phase-locked loops (PLLs). Unlike the 1Y/2Y outputs, they are not assigned to specific SDRAM byte lanes but provide low-jitter references to stabilize system clock synthesis in architectures requiring closed-loop timing control.
Is the CDC319DBR pin-compatible with other devices in the CDC319 family?
Yes, the CDC319DBR shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with CDC319DB, CDC319DB.B, and CDC319DBR.B-all packaged in the 28-pin SSOP (DB) format. Differences are limited to packaging (tube vs. tape-and-reel) and marking; no functional or pinout variation exists across these orderable variants of the CDC319DBR.
