Description
Si50122-A5/A6 is a high performance, crystal-less PCIe clock generator
that can generate two 100 MHz PCIe clock and one 25 MHz LVCMOS
clock outputs. The clock outputs are compliant to PCIe Gen 1, Gen 2, and
Gen 3 specifications. The ultra-small footprint (2.0x2.5 mm) and industry-
leading low power consumption make Si50122-A5/A6 the ideal clock
solution for consumer and embedded applications where board space is
limited and low power is needed.
