Product details
Overview
9DBV0531AKLFT from Renesas Electronics is a 5-output, 1.8V low-power PCIe Gen5 fanout buffer with LP-HCSL outputs, 33Ω termination, OE# control per output, and SMBus-configurable slew rate and amplitude. It delivers <40fs RMS additive phase jitter in Common Clocked architecture and supports 1–200MHz input frequencies for high-speed server clock distribution.
For engineers reviewing the 9DBV0531AKLFT datasheet, 9DBV0531AKLFT pinout, 9DBV0531AKLFT application, or 9DBV0531AKLFT equivalent, this device is selected for PCIe Gen5-compliant timing in space-constrained 5×5 mm VFQFPN layouts where output enable granularity, spread-spectrum compatibility, and ultra-low additive jitter are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The 9DBV0531AKLFT implements a zero-delay fanout architecture with differential HCSL outputs, no internal PLL, and direct clock replication from CLK_IN/CLK_IN#. Its 33Ω integrated output impedance eliminates external series resistors for both 85Ω and 100Ω PCB trace systems.
It features an SMBus interface with three selectable addresses (via vSADR_tri), 3.3V-tolerant SCLK/SDATA pins, and factory-default operation-no SMBus configuration required for basic functionality. Power management includes CKPWRGD_PD#-controlled power-down mode with sub-1μA total IDDOPD.
Key Specifications

| Output-to-Output Skew | <50ps (ensures tight timing alignment across all 5 outputs) |
| Operating Frequency | 1MHz to 200MHz (supports PCIe Gen1–Gen5 reference clocks) |
| Power Consumption | 41mW typical at 100MHz (enables thermal efficiency in dense server boards) |

Pinout & Package
32-pin Very Thin Quad Flat No-Lead (VFQFPN) package, 5×5 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (EPAD) connected to GND. Pin 1 is vSADR_tri (tri-level SMBus address select); pin 31 is ^CKPWRGD_PD# (power-down control with internal 120kΩ pull-up).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| vSADR_tri | SMBus address select input | Tri-level latch (GND/VDD/NC) sets one of three SMBus addresses; internal 120kΩ pull-down |
| ^CKPWRGD_PD# | Power-down control input | Low asserts power-down mode; internal 120kΩ pull-up ensures default active state |
| CLK_IN / CLK_IN# | Differential reference clock inputs | True/complementary LVDS/HCSL-compatible inputs; 300mV min swing, 150–900mV crossover voltage |
| DIF0–DIF4 / DIF0#–DIF4# | LP-HCSL differential outputs | 33Ω source-terminated outputs; eliminate 2 external resistors per pair in 85Ω/100Ω systems |
| vOE0#–vOE4# | Individual output enable inputs | Active-low control per output; internal 120kΩ pull-down enables default disable on power-up |
| VDDDIG1.8 / VDDO1.8 / VDDR1.8 | Separate 1.8V supplies | Isolated digital core, output, and analog receiver rails reduce noise coupling and improve jitter performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 33Ω LP-HCSL outputs | Eliminates 2 external resistors per output pair, reducing BOM count and layout area in PCIe Gen5 designs |

| PCIe CLKREQ# support via OE# pins | Direct hardware-level power gating of individual outputs aligns with PCIe L1 substates for dynamic power savings |
| Factory-default operation | No SMBus initialization required; device functions immediately after power-up and clock stabilization |
| Spread-spectrum compatible | Supports SRIS/SRNS architectures up to 66kHz modulation frequency without degrading additive jitter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PCIe fanout buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT8T49N242A | 8-output, 1.8V LP-HCSL; higher power (75mW typ); requires external 33Ω resistors | Higher channel count but larger 6×6 mm 48-VFQFPN package; no integrated 33Ω termination | Select when >5 outputs needed and board layout allows larger footprint and extra resistors |
| Si53306-A-GM | 6-output, 1.8V LVDS/LP-HCSL; 1.2V core; SMBus-only configuration (no default operation) | LVDS-compatible outputs; lacks OE# per output; requires SMBus init before use | Select when LVDS interface compatibility is required and firmware-controlled initialization is acceptable |
Compared with IDT8T49N242A and Si53306-A-GM, the 9DBV0531AKLFT offers the smallest footprint (5×5 mm), lowest power (41mW), integrated 33Ω termination, and true plug-and-play operation-making it optimal for space- and power-constrained PCIe Gen5 server and accelerator designs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 9DBV0531AKLFT?
The 9DBV0531AKLFT is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is validated across all electrical specifications including additive phase jitter, output skew, and supply current, ensuring reliable PCIe Gen5 timing performance in demanding server and embedded environments where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits.
Does the 9DBV0531AKLFT require SMBus configuration to function?
No-the 9DBV0531AKLFT operates with factory-default settings immediately after power-up and clock stabilization. SMBus is optional and used only to modify slew rate, output amplitude, or address; the 9DBV0531AKLFT delivers full LP-HCSL output functionality without any SMBus interaction.
How does the 9DBV0531AKLFT support PCIe CLKREQ# functionality?
The 9DBV0531AKLFT supports PCIe CLKREQ# via its five dedicated vOE0#–vOE4# pins. Each is an active-low, internally pulled-down input that directly gates its corresponding DIFx/DIFx# output pair-enabling hardware-coordinated clock gating aligned with PCIe L1 substate transitions without software intervention.
What is the significance of the 33Ω output impedance in the 9DBV0531AKLFT?
The 33Ω source-terminated LP-HCSL outputs in the 9DBV0531AKLFT eliminate two external 33Ω series resistors per differential pair, reducing BOM cost, PCB area, and signal path discontinuities. This design supports both 85Ω and 100Ω differential trace impedances, simplifying layout for mixed-impedance PCIe Gen5 systems.
Can the 9DBV0531AKLFT be used in SRIS (Separate Reference Independent Spread Spectrum) architectures?
Yes-the 9DBV0531AKLFT is explicitly characterized for SRIS operation, delivering 0.036–0.059ps RMS additive jitter at PCIe Gen5 (32 GT/s) in SRIS mode. Its SMBus-configurable features and wide 1–200MHz input range make it suitable for both SRIS and Common Clocked PCIe clocking topologies.
