General Description
The ICS9DB823B is compatible with the Intel DB800Q
Differential Buffer Specification. This buffer provides 8
PCI-Express SRC or 8 QPI clocks. The ICS9DB823B is
driven by a differential output pair from a CK410B+ or
CK509B main clock generator.
Recommended Application
DB800Q compatible part with PCIe Gen1, Gen 2 and QPI
support
