The 9ZXL0831E is a second-generation enhanced performance DB800ZL differential buffer. The part is a pin-compatible upgrade to the 9ZXL0831A, while offering a much improved phase jitter performance. A fixed external feedback maintains low drift for critical QPI/UPI applications.
 

Features

  • LP-HCSL outputs; eliminate 16 resistors, save 27mm² of area
  • PCIe Gen 1–5 compliance
  • 8 OE# pins; hardware control of each output
  • Selectable PLL BW; minimizes jitter peaking in cascaded PLL topologies
  • Hardware/SMBus control of PLL bandwidth and bypass; change mode without power cycle
  • Spread spectrum compatible; tracks spreading input clock for EMI reduction
  • 100MHz and 133.33MHz PLL mode; UPI and legacy QPI support
  • 6 × 6 mm 48-VFQFPN package; small board footprint
