DATASHEET
19-Output Differential Zbuffer for PCIe Gen2/3 and QPI
9ZX21901B
Description
Features/Benefits
The 9ZX21901 is a version of the Intel DB1900Z Differential Buffer •
with an ajdustable external feedback path allowing the user to
eliminate trace delays from their design. It is suitable for PCIe Gen3
•
or QPI applications. The part is backwards compatible to PCIe
Gen1 and Gen2. The device maintains low drift for critical QPI •
applications. In bypass mode, the IDT9ZX21901 can provide outputs •
up to 400MHz.
•
Recommended Application
19 output PCIe Gen3/QPI buffer with adjustable feedback for Romley •
platforms
•
Output Features
•
• 19 - 0.7V current mode differential HCSL output pairs
•
External feedback path; Adjustable input-to-output delay
9 Selectable SMBus addresses/ Multiple devices can
share same SMBus segment
8 dedicated OE# pins/ hardware control of outputs
PLL or bypass mode/ PLL can dejitter incoming clock
Selectable PLL BW/ minimizes jitter peaking in
downstream PLL's
Spread spectrum compatible/tracks spreading input clock
for EMI reduction
SMBus Interface/ unused outputs can be disabled
100MHz & 133.33MHz PLL mode/ Legacy QPI support
Undriven differential outputs in Power Down mode for
maximum power savings
