Removing the jitter from the signal enables original equipment manufacturers using the Virtex-4 RocketIO transceivers to achieve 2.5 Gbps throughput — a critical specification for PCIe communications applications.
The ICS874003-02 is based on the industry-leading IDT FemtoClock technology, designed to cost-effectively generate reference clocks with extremely low, sub-1 picosecond RMS phase-noise to meet the stringent jitter requirements of PCIe-based communication applications.
The IDT PCI Express jitter attenuator is available in a RoHS-compliant 20-pin TSSOP package. An evaluation board is also available to aid the verification process.
