15-Output DB1900Z Derivative
for PCIe Gen1–4 and UPI
9ZXL1530D / 9ZXL1550D
Datasheet
Description
Features
▪ LP-HCSL outputs; eliminate 30 resistors, save 51mm2 of area
The 9ZXL1530D / 9ZXL1550D are second-generation
enhanced-performance DB1900Z-derivative differential buffers.
The parts are pin-compatible upgrades to the 9ZXL1530B and
9ZXL1550B, while offering a much improved phase jitter
performance. A fixed external feedback maintains low drift for
critical QPI/UPI applications. In fanout mode, the devices meet the
DB2000Q additive phase jitter specification.
(1530D)
▪ LP-HCSL outputs with 85Ω Zout; eliminate 60 resistors, save
103mm2 of area (1550D)
▪ SMBus OE bits; software control of each output
▪ 9 selectable SMBus addresses; multiple devices can share the
same SMBus segment
▪ Selectable PLL BW; minimizes jitter peaking in cascaded PLL
PCIe Clocking Architectures
topologies
▪ Common Clocked (CC)
▪ Hardware/SMBus control of PLL bandwidth and bypass;
change mode without power cycle
▪ Independent Reference (IR) with and without spread spectrum
▪ Spread spectrum compatible; tracks spreading input clock for
EMI reduction
Typical Applications
▪ 9 × 9 mm 64-VFQFPN package; small board footprint
▪ Servers
▪ Storage
▪ Networking
▪ SSDs
