Description

The 9ZML1232E/9ZML1252E are a second generation

2-input/12-output differential mux for Intel Purley and newer

platforms. It exceeds the demanding DB1200ZL performance

specifications and is backwards compatible to the 9ZML1232B. It

utilizes Low-Power HCSL-compatible outputs to reduce power

consumption and termination resistors. It is suitable for

PCI-Express Gen1–4 or QPI/UPI applications, and provides 2

configurable low-drift I2O settings, one for each input channel, to

allow I2O tuning for various topologies.

PCIe Clocking Architectures

▪ Common Clocked (CC)

▪ Separate Reference No Spread (SRNS)

▪ Separate Reference Independent Spread (SRIS)

Typical Applications

Servers, Storage, Networking, SSDs

Output Features

▪ 12 Low-power HCSL (LP-HCSL) output pairs (9ZML1232E)

▪ 12 Low-power HCSL (LP-HCSL) output pairs with 85Ω Zout

(9ZML1252E)

Features

▪ 2 configurable low drift I2O delays up to 2.9ns; maintain

transport delay for various topologies

▪ LP-HCSL outputs; eliminate 24 resistors (9ZML1232E)

▪ LP-HCSL outputs with Zout = 85Ω; eliminate 48 resistors

(9ZML1252E)

▪ 9 selectable SMBus addresses; multiple devices can share

same SMBus segment

▪ Separate VDDIO for outputs; allows maximum power savings

▪ PLL or Bypass Mode; PLL can dejitter incoming clock

▪ Hardware or software-selectable PLL BW; minimizes jitter

peaking in downstream PLLs

▪ Spread spectrum compatible; tracks spreading input clock for

EMI reduction

▪ SMBus interface; software can modify device settings without

hardware changes

▪ 10 × 10 mm 72-VFQFPN package; small board footprint
