Overview

Description

The 9ZXL1951D is a second-generation, enhanced performance DB1900ZL derivative buffer. The part is a pin-compatible upgrade to the 9ZXL1951A, offering a much improved phase jitter performance. It has 8 OE# pins that can be configured via SMBus to control up to 16 of the device's 19 outputs, and is packaged in a 6 x 6 mm QFN package for maximum space savings. A fixed external feedback maintains low drift for critical QPI/UPI applications.

Features

  • LP-HCSL outputs with 85Ω Zout; eliminates 76 termination resistors, saves 130mm² area
  • PCIe Gen 1–5 compliance
  • 8 OE# pins configurable to control up to 16 outputs; easy power management
  • 9 selectable SMBus addresses; multiple devices can share same SMBus segment
  • 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 PLL mode; UPI support
  • DIF input and DIF outputs on outer row of pins; easy board routing
  • 6 x 6 mm dual-row 80-GQFN; smallest 19-output Z-buffer

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.
