description
The CDC318A is a high-performance clock buffer
designed to distribute high-speed clocks in PC
applications. This device distributes one input (A)
to 18 outputs (Y) with minimum skew for clock
distribution. The CDC318A operates from a 3.3-V
power supply. It is characterized for operation
from 0°C to 70°C.

This device has been designed with consideration
for optimized EMI performance. Depending on the
application layout, damping resistors in series to
the clock outputs (like proposed in the PC100
specification) may not be needed in most cases.
The device provides a standard mode (100K-bits/s) I2C serial interface for device control. The implementation
is as a slave/receiver. The device address is specified in the I2C device address table. Both of the I2C inputs
(SDATA and SCLOCK) are 5-V tolerant and provide integrated pullup resistors (typically 140 kΩ).
Three 8-bit I2C registers provide individual enable control for each of the outputs. All outputs default to enabled
at powerup. Each output can be placed in a disabled mode with a low-level output when a low-level control bit
is written to the control register. The registers are write only and must be accessed in sequential order (i.e.,
random access of the registers is not supported).
The CDC318A provides 3-state outputs for testing and debugging purposes. The outputs can be placed in a
high-impedance state via the output-enable (OE) input. When OE is high, all outputs are in the operational state.
When OE is low, the outputs are placed in a high-impedance state. OE provides an integrated pullup resistor.

† Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. The input and output negative-voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output clamp-current ratings are observed.
2. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with EIA/JEDEC Std JESD51, except for through-hole packages,
which use a trace length of zero. The absolute maximum power dissipation allowed at TA = 55°C (in still air) is 1.2 W.
3. Thermal impedance (ΘJA) can be considerably lower if the device is soldered on the PCB board with a copper layer underneath the
package. A simulation on a PCB board (3 in. × 3 in.) with two internal copper planes (1 oz. cu, 0.036 mm thick) and 0.071 mm cu
(202) in area underneath the package, resulted in ΘJA = 60°C/W. This would allow 1.2 W total power dissipation at TA = 70°C.
