Features
- SMBus write lock feature; increases system security
- PCIe Gen 1–7 compliance
- LP-HCSL outputs; eliminate 24 resistors, save 41mm² of area
- 12 OE# pins; hardware 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 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
- 9mm x 9mm 64-QFN package; small board footprint
Description
The 9ZXL1232E is a second-generation, enhanced-performance DB1200ZL differential buffer. The part is a pin-compatible upgrade to the 9ZXL1232A while offering a much-improved phase jitter performance and an SMBus Write Lock feature for increased system security. A fixed external feedback maintains low drift for critical QPI/UPI applications. The 9ZXL1232E has an SMBus Write Lockout pin for increased device and system security.
