Design Checklist
3.4.2
CKBF - SDRAM 1 to 18 Clock Buffer 
A 4.7K ohm pull-up to VCC
3.3
 on the OE pin is needed to enable the buffer.
Note that DCLKRD pin has been changed to a no connect (NC). The DCLKRD functionality 
has been combined with DCLKWR. If desire to remove the trace going to DCLKRD pin, the 
capacitor value should be adjusted to compensate for the capacitance change. 
An I
2
C interface is provided which allows the BIOS to disable unused SDRAM clocks  to 
reduce EMI and power consumption. It is recommended that the BIOS disable unused clocks.
No series termination is required for the SDRAM clocks between the CKBF and the DIMMs.
DCLKO from the 82443GX to the CKBF should have a 22 ohm series resistor placed at the 
82443GX, and a 47 ohm series resistor placed at the CKBF. This has been shown in 
simulations to improve the signal integrity of this signal.
Check with your clock vendor and the reference schematics for special layout and decoupling 
considerations. The reference schematics implement an LC filter on the supply pins to reduce 
noise.
3.4.3
GCKE and DCLKWR Connection
See the diagram below for implementation of the 16-bit flip-flop for CKE generation for 4 
DIMMs. 
GCKE trace length from the 82443GX to the flip-flop is recommended to be 1” MIN to 4” 
MAX. CKE trace lengths from the flip-flop to the DIMMS is recommended to be 3”.
NOTES:
1. The above circuitry only applies to unbuffer DIMMS. GCKE needs to be disabled for register DIMMS.
2. Pin AB22 has been changed to a no connect (NC), The 82443GX does not have an internal connection for 
pin AB22. Existing designs connected DCLKWR & AB22 nets on the motherboard. Since the 82443GX does 
not have an internal connection for pin AB22, it will cause a slightly reduced load capacitance on the net. To 
avoid additional clock skew on existing designs, a discrete capacitor larger than the 20pF capacitor 
recommended may be required.

- Clock signals fed back into 82443GX and
   D-FF must ‘T’-off with equal trace length
   and  as close as possible to the 82443GX and
   D-FF.
- The capacitors must be placed close to  the
   node where the clock signals are ‘T’-ed.
- The capacitor values are shown.
