Description

The 9ZML1253E is a second-generation enhanced performance DB1200ZL derivative. The part is a pin-compatible upgrade to the 9ZML1232B while offering a much-improved phase jitter performance. Fixed external feedback maintains low drift for critical QPI/UPI applications, while each input channel has software adjustable input-to-output delay to ease transport delay management for today's more complex server topologies. The 9ZML1253E has an SMBus Write Lockout pin for increased device and system security.

Introducing Renesas’ enhanced PCIe clock buffer family. These PCIe Gen5 clock buffers offer fanout and zero-delay operating modes, supporting both legacy systems and the most complex timing trees within a single device. Unlike many existing solutions, whose performance limitations force their use in fanout buffer mode, these clock buffers meet both PCIe Gen5 and prominent CPU-specific phase jitter requirements in all operating modes. The extremely low 50fs rms PCIe Gen5 additive phase jitter enables multi-level cascading within the strict PCIe Gen5 jitter budget. Renesas’ high-performance oscillators and clock generators provide an ideal clock source for the enhanced PCIe clock buffer family.
