General Description
The 8741004 is a high performance Differential-to-LVDS/0.7V
Differential 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 8741004 has 3 PLL
bandwidth modes: 200kHz, 600kHz and 2MHz. 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 600kHz provides an
intermediate bandwidth that can easily track triangular spread
profiles, while providing good jitter attenuation. The 2MHz 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. Because some 2.5Gb serdes have x20 multipliers while
others have x25 multipliers, the 8741004 can be set for 1:1 mode or
5/4 multiplication mode (i.e. 100MHz input/125MHz output) using the
F_SEL pins.
The 8741004 uses IDT’s 3rd 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.
