Systems, Inc.
FEMTOCLOCKS™ C RYSTAL-TO-
LVDS FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ICS844008I-15 is an 8 output LVDS • Eight LVDS outputs
ICS
HiPerClockS™
Synthesizer optimized to generate PCI Express
• Crystal oscillator interface
reference clock frequencies and is a member
• Supports the following output frequencies:
100MHz or 125MHz
of the HiPerClocksTM family of high performance
clock solutions from ICS. Using a 25MHz
• VCO: 500MHz
parallel resonant crystal, the following frequencies can be
generated based on F_SEL pin: 100MHz or 125MHz. The
ICS844008I-15 uses ICS’ 3rd generation low phase noise
VCO technology and can achieve <1ps typical rms phase
jitter, easily meeting PCI Express jitter requirements. The
ICS844008I-15 is packaged in a 32-pin LQFP package.
• RMS phase jitter @ 125MHz, using a 25MHz crystal
(1.875MHz - 20MHz): 0.42ps (typical)
• Full 3.3V supply modes
• -40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature
• Available in both standard and lead-free RoHS compliant
packages
