Product details
Overview
CY2318ANZPVXC-11T from Cypress Semiconductor is a 3.3V, 18-output SDRAM clock buffer designed for desktop PC motherboards supporting up to four DDR SDRAM DIMMs. It features 150 ps typical output-output skew, 100 MHz maximum operation, serial interface for per-output enable/disable control, and dedicated OE pin for ATE testing.
For engineers reviewing the CY2318ANZPVXC-11T datasheet, CY2318ANZPVXC-11T pinout, CY2318ANZPVXC-11T application, or CY2318ANZPVXC-11T equivalent, key selection criteria include SDRAM byte-group clock distribution capability, 5V-tolerant BUF_IN input, I²C-compatible serial control (SDATA/SCLK), VDDIIC/VSSIIC isolated supply for interface integrity, and SSOP-48 thermal and routing constraints in high-density Pentium II–class designs.
Technical Context
The CY2318ANZPVXC-11T implements a single-input, 18-output fanout architecture with three functional output groups: sixteen outputs assigned to four SDRAM byte lanes (0–3, 4–7, 8–11, 12–15), plus two dedicated feedback outputs (SDRAM16/SDRAM17). All outputs are CMOS-compatible and driven from a common internal buffer stage synchronized to BUF_IN.
Its serial interface uses a fixed 7-bit address (1101001) with R/W bit, supports three-byte configuration mapping for output enable states, and relies on internal pull-ups (>100 kΩ) on SDATA, SCLK, and OE. The device requires separate 3.3V digital (VDD/VSS) and I²C interface (VDDIIC/VSSIIC) supplies to isolate noise-sensitive control logic from clock distribution paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.135–3.465 V - ensures stable operation across industrial-grade voltage tolerance for motherboard VRM ripple |
| Max Operating Frequency | 100 MHz - supports Pentium II front-side bus timing and SDRAM CL2/CL3 access cycles |
| Output-Output Skew | 150 ps typ. - maintains tight inter-byte clock alignment critical for multi-DIMM synchronous read/write |
| Input Tolerance | BUF_IN tolerant to 7.0 V - allows direct connection to 5V clock sources without level-shifting |
| Serial Interface | I²C-compatible SDATA/SCLK with VDDIIC/VSSIIC isolation - enables dynamic output gating without disrupting main clock path |
| Propagation Delay | 1.0–5.0 ns (LH/HL) - guarantees sub-nanosecond jitter contribution to system-level timing budget |
| Load Capacitance | 20–30 pF - matches standard PCB trace + SDRAM input capacitance for impedance-controlled routing |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin Shrunk Small Outline Package (SSOP), 0.300-inch body width, 0.025-inch pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant. Thermal pad not present; power dissipation managed via VDD/VSS pin count and layout-aware copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BUF_IN (Pin 11) | Primary clock input | 5V-tolerant, VDD/2 threshold, drives all 18 outputs synchronously |
| OE (Pin 38) | Global output enable | Active-HIGH; forces all outputs to high-impedance when LOW - used for ATE boundary scan |
| SDATA (Pin 24), SCLK (Pin 25) | Serial configuration interface | I²C-style control with dedicated VDDIIC/VSSIIC supplies - enables per-output enable/disable without reset |
| VDD (Pins 3,7,12,16,20,29,33,37,42,46) | Digital power supply | 10 pins distributed across package - reduces IR drop and improves PSRR for clock integrity |
| VSS (Pins 6,10,15,19,22,27,30,34,39,43) | Digital ground | 10 ground pins interleaved with VDD - minimizes ground bounce during simultaneous output switching |
| SDRAM[0–15] (Pins 4,5,8,9,13,14,17,18,31,32,35,36,40,41,44,45) | SDRAM byte clock outputs | Grouped as four 4-bit lanes - each lane drives one SDRAM DIMM's DQS/DQ lines in lockstep |
| SDRAM[16–17] (Pins 21,28) | Feedback clock outputs | Connect to PLL reference inputs - provides clean, low-skew feedback for system clock synthesis |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Per-output serial enable/disable | Three-byte register map over SDATA/SCLK allows selective activation of SDRAM byte lanes during power-down sequences |
| 150 ps output skew | Guaranteed by matched internal routing and output driver design - eliminates inter-DIMM setup/hold violations |
| Dedicated OE pin | Hardware-level three-state control independent of serial interface - enables board-level test mode without firmware involvement |
| 5V-tolerant BUF_IN | Accepts 5V clock signals directly from legacy synthesizers (e.g., CY2280 series) - avoids external level shifters |
| VDDIIC/VSSIIC isolation | Separate analog-grade supply domain for serial interface - prevents digital switching noise from corrupting configuration writes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SDRAM clock buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT74FCT162374CPAG | 16-bit non-inverting latch with 3-state outputs; no serial interface or feedback outputs | Lacks per-output control, skew optimization, and SDRAM-specific grouping - requires external logic for DIMM enable sequencing | Select only if discrete latch functionality suffices and system-level skew management is handled elsewhere |
| ICS557GI-11LFT | 10-output LVCMOS buffer; no serial interface, no feedback outputs, max 85 MHz operation | Insufficient output count for 4-DIMM support; limited frequency headroom for 100 MHz SDRAM timing | Use only in cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth designs where DIMM count ≤ 2 and FSB ≤ 66 MHz |
Compared with IDT74FCT162374CPAG and ICS557GI-11LFT, the CY2318ANZPVXC-11T uniquely integrates 18-output fanout, byte-grouped SDRAM clocking, serial configurability, and dedicated feedback paths - making it the only option qualified for full-featured Pentium II–class 4-DIMM memory subsystems.

FAQ
Is CY2318ANZPVXC-11T pin-compatible with CY2318ANZPVC-11T?
Yes. Both variants share identical 48-pin SSOP footprint, pin assignment, and electrical characteristics. The "X" suffix denotes lead-free (Pb-free) construction per JEDEC J-STD-609, while "PVC" indicates standard SnPb finish. No layout or schematic changes are required for migration.
What is the function of VDDIIC and VSSIIC pins?
VDDIIC (Pin 23) and VSSIIC (Pin 26) supply power and ground exclusively to the serial interface circuitry (SDATA/SCLK). This isolation prevents digital switching noise from the main clock distribution network from corrupting serial configuration writes, ensuring reliable per-output enable/disable control.
Can CY2318ANZPVXC-11T drive loads beyond 30 pF?
No. Electrical specifications guarantee performance only up to 30 pF load capacitance. Driving higher capacitive loads increases propagation delay, degrades edge rate, and may cause output skew to exceed 250 ps - violating SDRAM timing margins. External buffering is required for >30 pF loads.
Does the serial interface require external pull-up resistors?
No. SDATA, SCLK, and OE pins feature internal pull-up resistors (>100 kΩ to VDD), eliminating need for external components. However, external 4.7 kΩ pull-ups are recommended for robust noise immunity in high-noise motherboard environments per Cypress Application Note AN2280.
