2:1 PCIE GEN1/2/3 CLOCK MULTIPLEXER
Description
The IDT5V41068A is a 2:1 differential clock mux for PCI
Express applications. It has very low additive jitter making it
suitable for use in PCIe Gen2 and Gen3 systems. The
IDT5V41068A selects between 1 of 2 differential HCSL
inputs to drive a single differential HCSL output pair. The
output can also be terminated to LVDS.

Application Information
Decoupling Capacitors
As with any high-performance mixed-signal IC, the
IDT5V41068A must be isolated from system power supply
noise to perform optimally.
Decoupling capacitors of 0.01µF must be connected
between each VDD and the PCB ground plane.
External Components
A minimum number of external components are required for
proper operation. Decoupling capacitors of 0.01F should
be connected between VDD and GND pairs (2,9 and 15,16)
as close to the device as possible.
Current Reference Source R
r
(Iref)
If board target trace impedance (Z) is 50, then Rr = 475
(1%), providing IREF of 2.32 mA, output current (I
OH
) is
equal to 6*IREF.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output phase
noise, the following guidelines should be observed.
Each 0.01µF decoupling capacitor should be mounted on
the component side of the board as close to the VDD pin as
possible. No vias should be used between decoupling
capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB trace to VDD pin should
be kept as short as possible, as should the PCB trace to the
ground via. Distance of the ferrite bead and bulk decoupling
from the device is less critical.
2) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other signal
layers (the ferrite bead and bulk decoupling capacitor can be
mounted on the back). Other signal traces should be routed
away from the IDT5V41068A.
This includes signal traces just underneath the device, or on
layers adjacent to the ground plane layer used by the device.
Load Resistors R
L
Since the clock outputs are open source outputs, 50 ohm
external resistors to ground are to be connected at each
clock output.
Output Termination
The PCI-Express differential clock outputs of the
IDT5V41068A are open source drivers and require an
external series resistor and a resistor to ground. These
resistor values and their allowable locations are shown in
detail in the
Layout Guidelines
section.
The IDT5V41068A can also be terminated to LVDS
compatible voltage levels. See the
Layout Guidelines
section.
