IDT® (Integrated
Device Technology, Inc.)(NASDAQ:IDTI), a leading provider of essential
mixed signal semiconductor solutions that enrich the digital media
experience, continues to extend its leadership developing and delivering
PCI Express® (PCIe®)
Gen2 standard-based solutions. Today the company announced optimized
PCIe Gen2-based timing solutions designed as companions to the industry
leading IDT portfolio of PCIe-based switching solutions.
The IDT PCIe Gen 2 timing portfolio includes both buffers and generators
that together provide customers with both cost and design flexibility.
The portfolio contains devices configured with 2 –
19 total differential output and input choices including both
differential and crystal inputs. Moreover, the devices offer IDT
customers further design flexibility through their availability in a
wide variety of packaging options. The solutions provide
root-mean-square (rms) phase jitter performance as low as 2 pico seconds –
providing a significant performance margin improvement to the PCIe Gen2
specification.
“IDT works very closely with our customers to
offer them the optimized PCI Express timing solutions that they need
without compromising their power budget or timing margins,”
said Eric Leung, vice president and general manager of the IDT PC Clock
division. “As with our PCIe switches, we are
committed to providing customers with timing solutions that are easy to
use and solve their real application problems.”
Features and Benefits
The IDT 9FG104D generator can be driven with either a 14.318MHz
or 25 MHz crystal to provide four (4) PCIe Gen2 reference clocks.
Additionally, an eight (8) output version (9FG108D) is available for
larger applications such as servers. Both devices are not only Gen2
compliant, but are backward compatible to the PCIe Gen1 specification.
For added flexibility, both devices are completely configurable through
hardware pins or through an SMBus interface and offer both
spread-spectrum and non spread-spectrum options. For additional
information on the devices, visit www.IDT.com/go/IDTPCIe.
Packaging and Availability
The IDT 9FG104D is currently available in 28-pin SSOP or TSSOP packaging
options. The IDT 9FG108D is currently available in 48-pin SSOP or TSSOP
packaging options. Both devices are also available in the -40°C
to 85°C industrial temperature ranges. The
industrial temperature range IDT 9FG104DGILF in a 28-pin TSSOP is priced
at $1.84 in quantities of 10,000 units. The equivalent 8 output device
(9FG108DGILF) in a 48-pin TSSOP is priced at $2.00 in quantities of
10,000 units.
