874005-04

The 874005-04 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 874005-04 has 2 PLL bandwidth modes: 300kHz and 2MHz. The 300kHz mode will provide maximum jitter attenuation, but higher PLL tracking skew and spread spectrum modulation from the motherboard synthesizer may be attenuated. The 2MHz bandwidth provides the best tracking skew and will pass most spread profiles. The 874005-04 supports Serdes reference clock frequencies of 100MHz, 125MHz and 250MHz. The 874005-04 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.
