The RC family consists of PCIe Gen7 clock buffer and multiplexer solutions, providing the industry's smallest and most compact footprint.
Introducing Renesas’ enhanced PCIe clock buffer family. These PCIe Gen5 clock buffers offer fanout and zero-delay operating modes, supporting both legacy systems and the most complex timing trees within a single device. Unlike many existing solutions, whose performance limitations force their use in fanout buffer mode, these clock buffers meet both PCIe Gen5 and prominent CPU-specific phase jitter requirements in all operating modes. The extremely low 50fs rms PCIe Gen5 additive phase jitter enables multi-level cascading within the strict PCIe Gen5 jitter budget. Renesas’ high-performance oscillators and clock generators provide an ideal clock source for the enhanced PCIe clock buffer family.
A detailed overview of IDT's full-featured PCI Express (PCIe) clock and timing solutions. The presentation addresses PCIe Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3, and Gen 4 architectures and how IDT's industry-leading solutions provide all the functions, features, and performance required by the application.
Presented by Ron Wade, System Architect at IDT. For more information visit the PCIe clocks page.
The 9ZXL1951D is designed to create clocks for PCI Express Generation 4. This video demonstrates how the reference clock for the 9ZXL1951D does not need to be PCI Express Gen4 compliant. When using the Low Bandwidth mode, the 9ZXL1951D will attenuate jitter so its output clocks still pass PCI Express Gen4, even when the input clock only passes PCI Express Gen3. This is most useful when the clock has spread spectrum modulation because it is very difficult to make a very low noise spreading clock.

A brief overview of how clock and timing specifications have changed from PCI Express (PCIe) Generation 1, Gen 2, Gen 3, Gen 4 and Gen 5.
Presented by Ron Wade, system architect at IDT (acquired by Renesas).
A brief overview of the PCI Express common clock (CC) jitter model, and the transfer functions as they relate to the timing PLLs. This model applies to PCI Express (PCIe) Gen 2, Gen 3, Gen 4 and Gen 5. The equations would be slightly different for other PCIe architectures, such as SRIS, SRnS, or data clocked.
Presented by Ron Wade, system architect at IDT (acquired by Renesas). For more information about Renesas's PCIe timing solutions, visit the PCI Express (PCIe) Clocks page.
This video compares PCIe Gen3–7 common clock jitter filters with a typical 12kHz to 20MHz plot to highlight the differences in filtering approaches.

RC21012 as replacement for 9FGV1002 + RC19216
Dear Renesas Forum, I am thinking about replacing a current PCIe Gen6 CLK design which uses a 9FGV1002 CLK source and a RC19216 as buffer, with the newer RC21012 all-in-one solution ( only 12 CLK Signals are needed ). Besides the lower PCIe phase jitter and and lower real estate ...
