ESCRIPTION
The ICS874003 is a high performance Differential-to-LVDS
Jitter Attenuator designed for use in PCI Express systems.
In some PCI Express systems, such as those found in
desktop PCs, the PCI Express clocks are generated from a
low bandwidth, high phase noise PLL frequency
synthesizer. In these systems, a jitter attenuator may be
required to attenuate high frequency random and
deterministic jitter components from the PLL synthesizer
and from the system board. The ICS874003 has 3 PLL
bandwidth modes: 200kHz, 400kHz, and 800kHz. The
200kHz mode will provide maximum jitter attenuation, but
with higher PLL tracking skew and spread spectrum
modulation from the motherboard synthesizer may be
attenuated. The 400kHz provides an intermediate bandwidth
that can easily track triangular spread profiles, while
providing good jitter attenuation. The 800kHz bandwidth
provides the best tracking skew and will pass most spread
profiles, but the jitter attenuation will not be as good as the
lower bandwidth modes. Because some 2.5Gb serdes have
x20 multipliers while others have than x25 multipliers, the
ICS874003 can be set for 1:1 mode or 5/4 multiplication
mode (i.e. 100MHz input/125MHz output) using the FSEL pins.
The ICS874003 uses IDT’s 3
rd
Generation FemtoClock
®
PLL technology to achive the lowest possible phase noise.
The device is packaged in a 20 Lead TSSOP package,
making it ideal for use in space constrained applications
such as PCI Express add-in cards.
