Renesas Electronics 9ZXL1951D Clock Buffer

Renesas Electronics 9ZXL1951D Clock Buffer is a second-generation, enhanced-performance DB1900ZL derivative buffer. This clock buffer is a pin-compatible upgrade to the 9ZXL1951A, offering a much-improved phase jitter performance. The 9ZXL1951D buffer offers 8 OE# pins that can be configured via SMBus to control up to 16 of the devices' 19 outputs. This 9ZXL1951D buffer comes in a 6mm x 6mm QFN package for maximum space savings.  The 9ZXL1951D buffer includes fixed external feedback to maintain low drift for critical QPI/UPI applications. This 9ZXL1951D buffer is suitable for servers, storage, networking, and SSDs.

Features

  • LP-HCSL outputs with 85Ω Zout eliminate 76 termination resistors and save 130mm2 area
