IDT’s SoC-friendly Ultra-low Power PCIe Buffers
Use the Same 1.5 V Voltage Rail as Modern SoCs, Reducing System
Complexity, Size, and Power
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NASDAQ:IDTI) today
announced the expansion of its leading PCIe timing portfolio with
the industry’s first 1.5 V PCI Express (PCIe®) buffer family.
IDT’s new U-series ultra-low power PCIe buffers operate from the
same supply voltage as modern systems-on-chip (SoCs) and field
programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), enabling designers to use the
same power rail, thus reducing system complexity, physical size,
and power consumption.
The 9DBU buffers are offered in 2 to 9-output configurations to
address virtually any PCIe application. Both non-PLL fan out and
PLL zero-delay-buffer modes are supported.
“IDT has consistently led the timing industry in both
performance and power, and the latest family of devices furthers
our leadership position,” said Dave Shepard, vice president and
general manager of Timing and RF at IDT. “SoCs and FPGAs are moving
to lower supply voltages and IDT is extending its PCIe timing
solutions portfolio to address this trend. Our 1.5 V solutions
take advantage of the low-voltage power savings, while
simultaneously enabling customers to consolidate power rails to
reduce the complexity of their systems. The new timing solutions
complement IDT’s V-series of 1.8 V PCIe clocks for
communications, computing, and consumer markets.”
Device options include external or internal terminations,
allowing designers to choose between maximum flexibility with
external termination circuitry, or maximum space savings using
internal terminations. The entire family operates from a 1.5 V
supply, resulting in the industry’s lowest power consumption for
PCIe timing devices, with eight-output devices using a mere 40
milliwatts – reducing cooling requirements and lowering operating
costs.
The 1.5 V U-series devices are pin-compatible with IDT’s
widely-adopted 1.8 V V-series, allowing for easy substitution
as SoC operating voltages continue to drop. The 9DBU buffers are
compliant with PCIe Gen 1, 2, and 3 so designers can use the same
component through several generations of product.

The IDT 9DBU buffers are currently sampling to qualified
customers. They are available in standard VFQFPN packages ranging
from 4 x 4 mm to 6 x 6 mm. Please
