Texas Instruments CDCDB803 8-Output Clock Buffer for PCIe® Gen 1 - 5

Texas Instruments CDCDB803 8-Output Clock Buffer for PCIe® Gen 1 to Gen 5 is a DB800ZL compliant clock buffer that distributes the reference clock for PCIe Gen 1-5, QuickPath Interconnect (QPI), UPI, SAS, and SATA interfaces. The SMBus interface and eight output enable pins permit the configuration and control of all eight outputs individually.

The TI CDCDB803 is a DB800ZL derivative buffer and meets or exceeds the system parameters in the DB800ZL specification. Additionally, the buffer meets or exceeds the parameters in the DB2000Q specification.

The CDCDB803 Clock Buffer is housed in a 6mm × 6mm, 48-pin VQFN package.
