Description

PCI Express Jitter Attenuator

The ICS874003I-02 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 ICS874003I-02 has a bandwidth of 400kHz. The 400kHz provides an intermediate bandwidth that can easily track triangular spread profiles, while providing good jitter attenuation.

The ICS874003I-02 uses IDT’s 3rd Generation FemtoClock™ PLL technology to achieve 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.


Features & Applications
