ESCRIPTION
The ICS8741004I is a high performance
Differential-to-LVDS/HCSL Jitter Attenuator
HiPerClockS™
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 ICS8741004I 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. 400kHz provides an intermediate bandwidth
that can easily track triangular spread profiles, while provid-
ing good jitter attenuation. 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 band-
width modes. Because some 2.5Gb serdes have x20
multipliers while others have x25 multipliers, the 8741004I
can be set for 1:1 mode or 5/4 multiplication mode
(i.e. 100MHz input/125MHz output) using the FSEL pins.
