Overview

Description

The 9QXL2001C is a 20-output very-low additive phase jitter fanout buffer for PCIe Gen1 to Gen6 applications. The 9QXL2001C provides two methods to control output enables; standard OE# pins and SMBus enable bits, and a simple 3-wire serial interface (side-band interface) that is independent of the SMBus. The side-band interface is enabled via a hardware strap and operates simultaneously with the OE# pins and SMBus enable bits. It offers integrated terminations for 85Ω transmission lines.

Features

  • 8 OE# pins provide hardware control of 8 outputs
  • 20 SMBus bits allow software control of each output
  • 3-wire side-band interface provides serial control of all 20 outputs at a 25MHz rate
  • Outputs remain Low/Low when powered up with a floating input clock
  • Low-Power HCSL (LP-HCSL) outputs reduce device power consumption by 50%
  • Zo = 85Ω outputs eliminate 80 resistors, saving 130mm2 of area
  • 9 selectable SMBus addresses
  • Spread spectrum compatible
  • 6mm × 6mm dual-row 80-GQFN

PCIe Gen5 Clock Buffers

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.
