ICS9DB803DI
Eight Output Differential Buffer for PCIe Gen 2
Description
Features/Benefits
The 9DB803 is a DB800 Version 2.0 Yellow Cover part with PCI
Express Gen II support. It can be used in PC or embedded
systems to provide outputs that have low cycle-to-cycle jitter
(50ps), low output-to-output skew (100ps), and are PCI Express
Gen 2 compliant. The 9DB803 supports a 1 to 8 output
configuration, taking a spread or non spread differential HCSL
input from a CK410(B) main clock such as 954101 and
932S401, or any other differential HCSL pair. 9DB803 can
generate HCSL or LVDS outputs from 50 to 100MHz in PLL
mode or 50 to 400Mhz in bypass mode. There are two de-
jittering modes available selectable through the HIGH_BW#
input pin, high bandwidth mode provides de-jittering for spread
inputs and low bandwidth mode provides extra de-jittering for
non-spread inputs. The SRC_IN#, PD#, and individual OE real-
time input pins provide completely programmable power
management control.
•
Spread spectrum modulation tolerant, 0 to -0.5% down
spread and +/- 0.25% center spread.
•
Supports undriven differential outputs in PD# and
SRC_STOP# modes for power management.
