871004I-04

The 871004I-04 is a high performance Differential-to-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, highphase 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 871004I-04 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 profiles, while providing good jitter attenuation. The 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 bandwidth modes. The 871004I- 04 can be set for different modes using the F_SEL pins as shown in Table 3C. The 871004I-04 uses IDT's 3rd Generation FemtoClockTM 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.
