GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 874003 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 874003 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. The 400kHz provides an
intermediate bandwidth that can easily track triangular spread
profi les, while providing good jitter attenuation. The 800kHz
bandwidth provides the best tracking skew and will pass most
spread profi les, but the jitter attenuation will not be as good
as the lower bandwidth modes. Because some 2.5Gb serdes
have x20 multipliers while others have than x25 multipliers, the
874003 can be set for 1:1 mode or 5/4 multiplication mode (i.e.
100MHz input/125MHz output) using the FSEL pins.
The 874003 uses IDT’s 3rd Generation FemtoClock®
PLL technology to achive 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.
