ICS874002
PCI EXPRESS
JITTER ATTENUATOR
PRELIMINARY
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ICS874002 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 ICS874002 has 3 PLL bandwidth modes:
200KHz, 400KHz, and 800KHz. The 200KHz mode will pro-
vide maximum jitter attenuation, but with higher PLL tracking
skew and spread spectrum modulation from the motherboard
synthesizer may be attenuated. 400KHz provides an
intermediate bandwidth that can easily track triangular
spread profiles, while providing good jitter attenuation.
800KHz 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. Because some 2.5
Gb serdes have x20 multipliers while others have than x25
multipliers, the 874002 can be set for 1:1 mode or 5/4
multiplication mode (i.e. 100MHz input/125MHz output) using
the F_SEL pin.
The ICS874002 uses ICS 3rd Generation FemtoClockTM
PLL technology to achieve the lowest possible phase noise.
The device is packaged in a 20 Lead TSSOP package, making
it ideal for use in space constrained applications such as PCI
Express™ add-in cards.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 2
shows how the differential input can be wired to accept
single ended levels. The reference voltage V_REF = VDD/2 is
generated by the bias resistors R1, R2 and C1. This bias circuit
should be located as close as possible to the input pin. The ratio
FIGURE 2. SINGLE ENDED SIGNAL DRIVING DIFFERENTIAL INPUT
WIRING THE DIFFERENTIAL INPUT TO ACCEPT SINGLE ENDED LEVELS
of R1 and R2 might need to be adjusted to position the V_REF in
the center of the input voltage swing. For example, if the input
clock swing is only 2.5V and VDD = 3.3V, V_REF should be 1.25V
and R2/R1 = 0.609.

POWER SUPPLY FILTERING T ECHNIQUES
As in any high speed analog circuitry, the power supply pins
are vulnerable to random noise. The ICS874002 provides sepa-
rate power supplies to isolate any high switching
noise from the outputs to the internal PLL. VDD, VDDA, and VDDO
should be individually connected to the power supply
plane through vias, and bypass capacitors should be
used for each pin. To achieve optimum jitter performance,
power supply isolation is required.
Figure 1
illustrates how
a 10 resistor along with a 10µF and a .01µF bypass
capacitor should be connected to each VDDA pin. FIGURE 1. POWER SUPPLY FILTERING

The CLK /nCLK accepts LVDS, LVPECL, LVHSTL, SSTL, HCSL
and other differential signals. Both VSWING and VOH must meet the
VPP and VCMR input requirements. Figures 3A to 3D show inter-
face examples for the HiPerClockS CLK/nCLK input driven by
the most common driver types. The input interfaces suggested

driver component to confirm the driver termination requirements.
For example in
Figure 3A,
the input termination applies for ICS

from another vendor, use their termination recommendation.
