4 to 12-Output Buffers for PCIe
Gen1–5 and UPI
Datasheet
Description
Features
▪ 4–12 Low-power HCSL (LP-HCSL) outputs
The 9ZXL04x1E/9ZXL06x1E/9ZXL08x1E/9ZXL12x1E family of
Zero-Delay/Fanout Buffers (ZDB, FOB) are 2nd-generation
enhanced performance buffers for PCIe and CPU applications.
The family meets all published QPI/UPI, DB2000Q and PCIe
Gen1–5 jitter specifications. Devices range from 4 to 12 outputs,
with each output having an OE# pin to support the PCIe
CLKREQ# function for low power states. All devices meet
DB2000Q, DB1200ZL and DB800ZL jitter and skew requirements.
▪ Integrated terminations eliminate up to 4 resistors per output
pair
▪ Dedicated OE# pins support PCIe CLKREQ# function
▪ Up to 9 selectable SMBus addresses (9ZXL12)
▪ Selectable PLL bandwidths minimizes jitter peaking in
cascaded PLL topologies
▪ Hardware/SMBus control of ZDB and FOB modes
▪ Spread-spectrum compatible
PCIe Clocking Architectures
▪ Common Clocked (CC)
▪ 1–400MHz FOB operation (all devices)
▪ Independent Reference (IR) with and without spread spectrum
(SRIS, SRNS)
▪ 100MHz and 133.33MHz ZDB mode (9ZXL12, 9ZXL08)
▪ 100MHz ZDB mode (9ZXL06, 9ZXL04)
▪ -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range (all devices)
▪ -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range (9ZXL08)
▪ Package information: see Ordering Information for details
