ESCRIPTION
The ICS841608I is an optimized PCIe and sRIO
IC
S
clock generator and member of the HiPerClocks™
HiPerClockS™
family of high-performance clock solutions from IDT.
The device uses a 25MHz parallel cr ystal to
generate 100MHz and 125MHz clock signals,
replacing solutions requiring multiple oscillator and fanout buffer
solutions. The device has excellent phase jitter (<1ps rms)
suitable for clock components requiring precise and low-jitter
PCIe or sRIO or both clock signals. Designed for telecom,
networking and industrial applications, the ICS841608I can also
drive the high-speed sRIO and PCIe SerDes clock inputs of
communication processors, DSPs, switches and bridges.

NOTE: All specifications are taken at 100MHz and 125MHz.
NOTE 1: Please refer to the Phase Noise Plot.
NOTE 2: RMS jitter after applying system transfer function. See IDT Application Note,
PCI Express Reference Clock Requirements.
Maximum
limit for PCI Express is 86ps peak-to-peak.
NOTE 3: RMS jitter after applying system transfer function. The pole frequencies for H1 and H2 for PCIe Gen 2 are 8-16MHz and 5-16MHz.
See IDT Application Note,
PCI Express Reference Clock Requirements.
Maximum limit for PCI Express Generation 2 is 3.1ps rms.
NOTE 4: This parameter is defined in accordance with JEDEC Standard 65.
NOTE 5: Defined as skew between outputs at the same supply voltage and with equal load conditions.
Measured at the output differential cross points.
NOTE 6: Measurement taken from differential waveform.
NOTE 7: Measurement from -150mV to +150mV on the differential waveform (derived from Qx minus nQx).
The signal must be monotonic through the measurement region for rise and fall time. The 300mV measurement window is centered on the
differential zero crossing. See Parameter Measurement Information Section.
NOTE 8: T
STABLE
is the time the differential clock must maintain a minimum ±150mV differential voltage after rising/falling edges before it is
allowed to drop back into the V
RB
±100 differential range. See Parameter Measurement Information Section.
NOTE 9: Measurement taken from single ended waveform.
NOTE 10: Defined as the maximum instantaneous voltage including overshoot. See Parameter Measurement Information Section.
NOTE 11: Defined as the minimum instantaneous voltage including undershoot. See Parameter Measurement Information Section.
NOTE 12: Measured at crossing point where the instantaneous voltage value of the rising edge of Qx equals the falling edge of nQx.
See Parameter Measurement Information Section.
NOTE 13: Refers to the total variation from the lowest crossing point to the highest, regardless of which edge is crossing.
Refers to all crossing points for this measurement. See Parameter Measurement Information Section.
NOTE 14: Defined as the total variation of all crossing voltage of rising Qx and falling nQx. This is the maximum allowed variance in the V
CROSS
for any par ticular system. See Parameter Measurement Information Section.
NOTE 15: Input duty cycle must be 50%.
