General Description

The 871002I-02 is a high performance 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

871002I-02 has two PLL bandwidth modes: 350kHz and 2200kHz.

The 350kHz mode provides the maximum jitter attenuation, but it also

results in higher PLL tracking time. In this mode, the spread spectrum

modulation may also be attenuated. The 2200kHz 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 871002I-02 can be set for different modes using the

F_SELx pins as shown in Table 3C.

The 871002I-02 uses IDT 3rd Generation FemtoClockTM PLL

technology to achieve the lowest possible phase noise. The

device is packaged in a small 20 Lead TSSOP package, making it

ideal for use in space constrained applications such as PCI Express

add-in cards.
