Product details
Overview
SSTUAF32868AHLFT from Renesas Electronics is a 28-bit 1:2 configurable registered buffer with parity checking, designed for DDR2 RDIMM applications operating at 1.7–1.9 V. It supports SSTL_18 I/O, features differential CLK/CLK inputs, LVCMOS RESET/CSGEN/C control, and delivers edge-controlled outputs optimized for unterminated DIMM loads. Used in DDR2 memory modules supporting 400/533/667 MT/s data rates.
For engineers reviewing the SSTUAF32868AHLFT datasheet, SSTUAF32868AHLFT pinout, SSTUAF32868AHLFT application, or SSTUAF32868AHLFT equivalent, key selection criteria include DDR2 register-A/B configuration (C input), QERR open-drain error reporting latency (n+2 clock cycles), low-power standby gating via DCS0/DCS1/CSGEN, and 176-ball LFBGA package compatibility with JEDEC DDR2 RDIMM layouts.
Technical Context
The SSTUAF32868AHLFT implements dual-register architecture (Register-A when C = 0, Register-B when C = 1), with asynchronous LVCMOS RESET that forces all Qn outputs low and disables differential receivers. Its parity logic accepts PAR_IN one cycle after data and asserts QERR two cycles after registration-latched low for ≥2 clocks or until RESET deasserts.
It operates with differential clocking (CLK/CLK crossing), supports low-power mode when CSGEN, DCS0, and DCS1 are high, and gates Qn outputs during chip-select idle while allowing QCS0/QCS1/QCKE/QODT outputs to remain active regardless of DCS state-enabling independent command/address and timing signal buffering in DDR2 RDIMMs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Supply | 1.7 V to 1.9 V - Enables compatibility with DDR2 1.8 V nominal systems and reduces power vs. 2.5 V buffers. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 410 MHz - Supports DDR2-800 (400 MHz clock) with margin for timing closure in high-speed DIMM designs. |
| Propagation Delay (CLK→Qn) | 1.3–1.9 ns - Ensures tight skew control across 28-bit data paths critical for DDR2 timing budgets. |
| QERR Latency | 2 clock cycles after data registration - Enables early parity error detection without blocking subsequent data flow. |
| Input Compatibility | SSTL_18 on D1–D28/DCS/CLK/CLK; LVCMOS on RESET/CSGEN/C - Allows direct interface to DDR2 controller and discrete logic control lines. |
| Parity Logic | Even-parity check across DIMM-independent D-inputs (configurable per C state); QERR active-low open-drain - Integrates error signaling into standard DIMM fault monitoring circuits. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - Qualified for commercial-grade DDR2 memory module environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 176-ball Low-Profile Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (LFBGA), lead-free, RoHS-compliant. Thermal impedance θJA = 40.4°C/W (0 m/s airflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLK / CLK | Differential master clock inputs | Edge-triggered on rising CLK/falling CLK crossing; defines all register sampling points and output timing. |
| RESET | Asynchronous LVCMOS reset | Forces all Qn outputs low and disables differential receivers; must be held low during power-up for glitch-free initialization. |
| C | Configuration control input | Hardwired low/high to select Register-A (D1–D5,D7,D9–D12,D17–D28) or Register-B (D1–D12,D17–D20,D22,D24–D28) pin mapping. |
| PAR_IN | SSTL_18 parity input | Arrives one clock cycle after corresponding data; enables real-time even-parity validation across selected D-inputs. |
| QERR | Open-drain error output | Active-low, latched for ≥2 clocks on error; compatible with standard DIMM fault-bus pull-up networks. |
| VREF (A1/V1) | Reference voltage input | Internally tied (~150 Ω); only one pin requires external 0.9 V supply; unused pin terminated with coupling capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 28-bit 1:2 registered buffering | Redrives DDR2 address/command/data to two independent DIMM ranks with cycle-aligned timing and minimal skew. |
| Configurable register mapping (C input) | Enables hardware-selectable I/O grouping for flexible DDR2 RDIMM layout-no firmware change required. |
| Integrated parity checking with QERR | Eliminates need for external parity logic; supports JEDEC-compliant error reporting in server-grade memory modules. |
| Low-power standby gating | Disables Qn output transitions when DCS0/DCS1/CSGEN all high-reducing dynamic power during rank-idle periods. |
| SSTL_18 I/O compliance | Guarantees interoperability with DDR2 SDRAM, controllers, and termination schemes without level-shifting. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DDR2 registered buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT SSTUF32868AHLFT | No parity checking; lacks PAR_IN and QERR functionality; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and electrical specs. | Suitable for non-ECC DDR2 modules where parity is handled externally or omitted. | Select when cost reduction is prioritized over integrated error detection and system-level fault visibility. |
| Renesas SSTUA32868AHLFT | Fixed Register-A configuration only (no C input); same 176-ball LFBGA, VDD range, and DDR2 timing. | Used in legacy DDR2 designs with static pin mapping; no runtime reconfiguration capability. | Choose when board layout is fixed and Register-B functionality is unnecessary-simplifies control logic. |

FAQ
What is the function of the C input on the SSTUAF32868AHLFT?
The C input selects between Register-A (C = 0) and Register-B (C = 1) configurations, determining which subset of D-inputs (D1–D28) feeds each output bank. It must be hardwired-not toggled during operation-as SSTUAF32868AHLFT does not support dynamic reconfiguration. This enables layout flexibility for different DDR2 RDIMM topologies without changing firmware or PCB design.
How does the QERR output behave during a parity error on the SSTUAF32868AHLFT?
When a parity error occurs, SSTUAF32868AHLFT drives QERR low two clock cycles after the erroneous data is registered and holds it latched low for at least two full clock cycles-or until RESET is asserted low. If multiple errors occur consecutively, QERR remains low for the duration of the error sequence plus two clocks, ensuring reliable capture by external monitoring circuitry.
Can the SSTUAF32868AHLFT operate without an external VREF supply?
No. SSTUAF32868AHLFT requires an external 0.9 V VREF supply connected to either A1 or V1 (not both), as its SSTL_18 inputs depend on this reference for valid VIH/VIL thresholds. Leaving VREF unconnected causes undefined input behavior and violates JEDEC SSTL_18 specifications-potentially leading to metastability or incorrect sampling of DDR2 signals.
What happens to outputs when RESET is asserted low on the SSTUAF32868AHLFT?
When RESET is driven low, SSTUAF32868AHLFT immediately forces all Qn outputs low, disables differential input receivers (allowing CLK/CLK/VREF to float), and clears all internal registers. QERR is driven high. This state persists until RESET returns high and tINACT (≥15 ns) elapses-ensuring glitch-free power-up and safe idle conditions before clock stabilization.
Is the SSTUAF32868AHLFT pin-compatible with other IDT/Renesas DDR2 registered buffers?
SSTUAF32868AHLFT shares the same 176-ball LFBGA footprint and core signal assignments (CLK/CLK, D1–D28, Q1–Q28, RESET, etc.) with IDT SSTUF32868AHLFT and Renesas SSTUA32868AHLFT, but differs in C input functionality and QERR/PAR_IN presence. It is not a drop-in replacement for parts lacking parity-board-level changes are required to route PAR_IN and connect QERR to monitoring logic.
