Crystal-to-LVDS
Clock Generator
General Description
The ICS844201I-45 is a PCI Express
TM
Clock Generator. The
ICS844201I-45 can synthesize 100MHz or 125MHz reference clock
frequencies with a 25MHz crystal. The ICS844201I-45 has excellent
phase jitter performance and is packaged in a small 16-pin VFQFN,
making it ideal for use in systems with limited board space.

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.
NOTE: Characterized using a 25MHz crystal.
NOTE 1: Refer to Phase Noise Plots.
NOTE 2: 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. See IDT Application Note
PCI Express Reference Clock Requirements
and also
the PCI Express Application section of this datasheet which show each individual transfer function and the overall composite transfer function.
NOTE 3: 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 3.0 ps RMS for t
REFCLK_LF_RMS
(Low Band). See IDT Application Note
PCI Express Reference Clock Requirements
and also
the PCI Express Application section of this datasheet which show each individual transfer function and the overall composite transfer function.
