12-output DB1200ZL Derivative with
Integrated 85Ω Terminations
9ZXL1251
DATASHEET
General Description
Features/Benefits
The 9ZXL1251 meets the demanding requirements of the
Intel DB1200ZL specification, including the critical low-drift
requirements of Intel CPUs. It is pin compatible to the
9ZXL1231 and integrates 24 termination resistors, saving
• 85Ω Low-power push-pull HCSL outputs; eliminate 24
2
resistors, save 41mm of area
• Pin compatible to 9ZX21201 and 9ZXL1231; easy path to
power and area savings
2
41mm board area.
• Space-saving 64-pin VFQFPN package
• Fixed feedback path for 0ps input-to-output delay
• 9 Selectable SMBus Addresses; multiple devices can
share the same SMBus Segment
Recommended Application
Buffer for Romley, Grantley and Purley Servers, solid state
storage and PCIe
• 12 OE# pins; hardware control of each output
• PLL or bypass mode; supports common and separate clock
architectures
Output Features
• 12 LP-HCSL Output Pairs w/integrated terminations (Zo =
85Ω)
• Selectable PLL bandwidth; minimizes jitter peaking in
downstream PLL's
• Spread Spectrum Compatible; tracks spreading input clock
for low EMI
Key Specifications
