Differential-to-HCSL Differential
PCI EXPRESS™ Jitter Attenuator
General Description
The ICS871004I-04 is a high performance 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
ICS871004I-04 has three PLL bandwidth modes: 200kHz, 700kHz
and 1700kHz. The 200kHz mode provides the maximum jitter
attenuation, but it also results in higher PLL tracking time. In this
mode, the spread spectrum modulation may also be attenuated. The
700kHz bandwidth provides an intermediate bandwidth that can
easily track tri-angular spread profiles, while providing good jitter
attenuation. The 1700kHz 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. The ICS871004I-04 can be
set for different modes using the F_SELx pins as shown in Table 3C.
The ICS871004I-04 uses IDT’s 3
RD
Generation FemtoClock
®
PLL
technology to achieve the lowest possible phase noise. The device is
packaged in a 24 Lead TSSOP package, making it ideal for use in
space constrained applications such as PCI Express add-in cards.

NOTE:
Electrical parameters are guaranteed over the specified ambient operating temperature range, which is established when the device
is mounted in a test socket with maintained transverse airflow greater than 500 lfpm. The device will meet specifications after thermal
equilibrium has been reached under these conditions. For additional information, refer to the
PCI Express Application Note section
in the
datasheet.
NOTE:
PCIe jitter parameters were obtained with Spread Spectrum Modulation disabled.
NOTE 1:
Peak-to-Peak jitter after applying system transfer function for the Common Clock Architecture. Maximum limit for PCI Express Gen 1
is 86ps peak-to-peak for a sample size of 10
6
clock periods.
NOTE 2:
RMS jitter after applying the two evaluation bands to the two transfer functions defined in the Common Clock Architecture and
reporting the worst case results for each evaluation band. Maximum limit for PCI Express Generation 2 is 3.1ps RMS for t
REFCLK_HF_RMS
(High Band) and 3.0ps RMS for t
REFCLK_LF_RMS
(Low Band).
NOTE 3:
RMS jitter after applying system transfer function for the common clock architecture. This specification is based on the
PCI Express
Base Specification Revision 0.7, October 2009
and is subject to change pending the final release version of the specification.
NOTE 4:
This parameter is guaranteed by characterization. Not tested in production.
