Description

The 9DB833 zero-delay buffer supports PCIe Gen3 requirements, while being backwards compatible to PCIe Gen2 and Gen1. The 9DB833 is driven by a differential SRC output pair from an IDT 932S421 or 932SQ420 or equivalent main clock generator.

Features/Benefits

? 3 Selectable SMBus Addresses; mulitple devices can share the same SMBus Segment

? OE# pins; suitable for Express Card applications

? PLL or bypass mode; PLL can dejitter incoming clock

? Selectable PLL bandwidth; minimizes jitter peaking in downstream PLLs

? Spread Spectrum Compatible; tracks spreading input clock for low EMI

? SMBus Interface; unused outputs can be disabled

? Supports undriven differential outputs in Power Down mode for power management

Output Features

? 8 - 0.7V current-mode differential HCSL output pairs

? Supports zero delay buffer mode and fanout mode

? Selectable bandwidth

? 50-110 MHz operation in PLL mode

? 5-166 MHz operation in Bypass mode

Key Specifications

? Outputs cycle-cycle jitter <50ps

? Output to Output skew <50ps

? Phase jitter: PCIe Gen3 <1.0ps rm
