9ZX21901D - Enhanced DB1900Z Compliant 19-Output Buffer
Pin-to-pin with improved performance

Overview

Description

The 9ZX21901B is a version of the Intel DB1900Z differential buffer with an adjustable external feedback path allowing the user to eliminate trace delays from their design. It is suitable for PCIe Gen 3 or QPI applications. The part is backward compatible with PCIe Gen 1 and Gen 2. And, the device maintains low drift for critical QPI applications. In bypass mode, the 9ZX21901 can provide outputs up to 400MHz. See the 9ZX21901C for a fixed external feedback path.

Features

  • 19 - 0.7V HCSL differential HCSL output pairs
  • Adjustable external feedback path
  • Phase jitter: PCIe Gen3 < 1ps rms
  • Phase jitter: QPI 9.6GT/s < 0.2ps rms
  • PLL or bypass mode
  • PLL can de-jitter incoming clock
  • 9 selectable SMBus Addresses
  • 8 OE# pins
  • 100MHz or 133MHz PLL mode operation for PCIe and QPI applications
  • Selectable PLL bandwidth minimizes jitter peaking in downstream PLLs
  • Spread spectrum compatible
