MDB1900ZB Zero Delay Buffer for PCIe (Gen1/Gen2/Gen3), SAS, SATA, ESI, and QPI General Description Features The MDB1900ZB is a true zero delay buffer with a fully- Supports zero delay (0ps) buffer mode for 100MHz and integrated, high-performance, low-power, and low-phase 133MHz clock frequencies. noise programmable PLL. External feedback path for true zero delay operations The MDB1900ZB is capable of distributing the reference Zero delay (PLL) mode can filter jitter in incoming clock clocks for PCIe (Gen1/Gen2/Gen3), SATA, ESI, SAS, SMI Selectable PLL bandwidth for PLL mode and Intel Quickpath Interconnect (QPI). The MDB1900ZB Supports fanout buffer mode for clock frequencies works in conjunction with a CK410B+, CK509B or between 0 and 250MHz CK420BQ clock synthesizer to provide reference clocks to Differential input reference with HCSL logic (0~0.7V) multiple agents. Nineteen differential HCSL-compatible clock output The MDB1900ZB is designed for Intels DB1900Z pairs specification. The Intel part designation for the Eight dedicated OE pins to control their assigned MDB1900ZB is identified as G20746-002. output. Glitch free assertion/de-assertion.
