8.1 Overview

LMKDB11xx are DB2000QL compliant clock buffers that distribute LP-HCSL clocks designed for PCIe Gen 1 through 7 applications with ultra-low additive jitter and ultra-low propagation delay. The LMKDB11xx buffer devices allow for enough jitter margin for the entire clock path mainly required for PCIe Gen 5, Gen 6 and Gen 7 buffer cascading and Ethernet fan-out applications. The LMKDB11xx also support both 1.8V and 3.3V supply voltages for better design flexibility.

LMKDB11xx have individual OE controls for all outputs, which provides more design flexibility. Each output of each device also has programmable slew rate, programmable output amplitude swing, and automatic output disable. The devices support 100Ω or 85Ω LP-HCSL and fail-safe inputs and outputs denoted by the part number as shown in Section 4, with output frequencies of up to 400MHz.

LMKDB11xx have pin mode, SMBus mode, and Side Band Interface (SBI) mode, which can all be used at the same time. Refer to Section 5 for more details one each option available on specific device. SBI enables or disables output clocks at a much faster speeds (up to 25MHz) as compared to SMBus. Furthermore, because both SBI and SMBus can operate at the same time, SMBus can still be used to take over device control and readback status after power-up. For more details please refer to Section 8.4

Refer to Section 8 for the detailed descriptions of the devices pins and the Register Map for more details on the device registers.
