General Description
The
ICS9DB401
follows the Intel DB400 Differential Buffer Specification v2.0. This buffer provides four PCI-Express SRC
clocks. The
ICS9DB401
is driven by a differential input pair from a CK409/CK410/CK410M main clock generator, such as the
ICS952601, ICS954101 or ICS954201. It provides ouputs meeting tight cycle-to-cycle jitter (50ps) and output-to-output skew
(50ps) requirements.
