Overview

Description

The 9ZXL0851E is a second-generation enhanced performance DB800ZL differential buffer. The part is a pin-compatible upgrade to the 9ZXL0851A while offering a much-improved phase jitter performance. A fixed external feedback maintains low drift for critical QPI/UPI applications.

Features

  • LP-HCSL outputs with 85Ω Zout; eliminate 32 resistors, save 64mm² of area
  • PCIe Gen 1–5 compliance
  • 8 OE# pins; hardware control of each output
  • Selectable PLL BW; minimizes jitter peaking in cascaded PLL topologies
  • Hardware/SMBus control of PLL bandwidth and bypass; change mode without power cycle
  • Spread spectrum compatible; tracks spreading input clock for EMI reduction
  • 100MHz and 133.33MHz PLL mode; UPI and legacy QPI support
  • 6mm × 6mm 48-VFQFPN package; small board footprint

PCIe Gen5 Clock Buffers

Introducing Renesas’ enhanced PCIe clock buffer family. These PCIe Gen5 clock buffers offer fanout and zero-delay operating modes, supporting both legacy systems and the most complex timing trees within a single device. Unlike many existing solutions, whose performance limitations force their use in fanout buffer mode, these clock buffers meet both PCIe Gen5 and prominent CPU-specific phase jitter requirements in all operating modes. The extremely low 50fs rms PCIe Gen5 additive phase jitter enables multi-level cascading within the strict PCIe Gen5 jitter budget. Renesas’ high-performance oscillators and clock generators provide an ideal clock source for the enhanced PCIe clock buffer family.
