Overview

Description

The 9DB401C is a DB400 Version 2.0 Yellow Cover part with PCI Express® support. It can be used in PC or embedded systems to provide outputs that have low cycle-to-cycle jitter (50 ps), low output-to-output skew (100 ps), and are PCI Express® gen 1 compliant. The 9DB401C supports a 1 to 4 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. 9DB401C can generate HCSL or LVDS outputs from 50 to 200 MHz in PLL mode or 0 to 400 MHz 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_STOP#, PD#, and OE real-time input pins provide completely programmable power management control.

PCIe Clocking Architectures (Common and Separate)

This is the first video in our PCIe series. In this video, we define PCIe architectures, focusing on common and separate clock architectures. Watch the rest of the video series below where Ron will cover the impact of different timing architectures.
