Zero Delay Clock Buffer

The use of a zero delay clock buffer leads to problems because it needs approximatley 60 clock cycles before the clock
is present on the output. The Intel® USB15W System Controller Hub typically detects if a device is connected to the
LPC clock, but it will not wait the 60 clock cycles to stay active.

Warning: Do not use the reference schematic in the COM Express® Design Guide. Either use another Clock Buffer

solution without a long start up process or use series resistors to double the LPC clock line. Follow the design
recommendations in the COM Express Design Guide maintained by PICMG.
