ICS844204BK-245 REV. A JULY 9, 2007
PRELIMINARY
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ICS844204-245 is a 4 output PCI Express clock
synthesizer optimized to generate low jitter PCIe
reference clocks with or without spread spectrum
modulation and is a member of the HiPerClockS
family of high performance clock solutions from IDT.
Spread type and amount can be configured via the SSC control
pins. Using a 25MHz, 18pF parallel resonant crystal, the device
will generate LVDS clocks at either 25MHz, 100MHz, 125MHz or
250MHz. The ICS844204-245 uses a low jitter VCO that easily
meets PCI Express jitter requirements and is packaged in a
32-pin VFQFN package.
FEATURES
Four LVDS outputs at 25MHz, 100MHz, 125MHz or 250MHz
Crystal oscillator interface, 25MHz, 18pF parallel resonant
crystal
Supports the following output frequencies:
25MHz, 100MHz, 125MHz or 250MHz
VCO range: 240MHz - 700MHz
Supports SSC downspread at 0.50% and -0.75%,
centerspread at ±0.25% and no spread options
Cycle-to-cycle jitter: 70ps (typical)
Period jitter: 40ps (typical)
Full 3.3V power supply mode
0°C to 70°C ambient operating temperature
Available in both standard (RoHS 5) and lead-free (RoHS 6)
