PI6C557-03A
PCIe 2.0 Clock Generator with 2 HCSL Outputs
Features
ÎÎ
PCIe® 2.0 compliant
Description
The PI6C557-03A is a spread spectrum clock generator compli-
ant to PCI Express® 2.0 and Ethernet requirements. The device is
used for PC or embedded systems to substantially reduce Electro-
magnetic Interference (EMI).
The PI6C557-03A provides two differential (HCSL) or LVDS
spread spectrum outputs. The PI6C557-03A is configured to se-
lect spread and clock selection. Using Pericom's patented Phase-
Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the device takes a 25MHz crystal
input and produces two pairs of differential outputs (HCSL) at
25MHz, 100MHz, 125MHz and 200MHz clock frequencies. It
also provides spread selection of -0.5%, -0.75%, and no spread.

Application Information
Decoupling Capacitors
Decoupling capacitors of 0.01μF should be connected between
each V
DD
pin and the ground plane and placed as close to the
V
DD
pin as possible.
Crystal
Use a 25MHz fundamental mode parallel resonant crystal with
less than 300PPM of error across temperature.
Crystal Capacitors
C
L
= Crystals's load capacitance in pF
Crystal Capacitors (pF) = (C
L
- 8) *2
For example, for a crystal with 16pF load caps, the external ef-
fective crystal cap would be 16 pF. (16-8)*2=16.
Current Source (IREF) Reference Resistor - R
R
If board target trace impedance is 50Ω,
then R
R
= 475Ω providing an IREF of 2.32 mA. The output cur-
rent (I
OH
) is 6*IREF.
Output Termination
The PCI Express differential clock outputs of the PI6C557-03A
are open source drivers and require an external series resistor
and a resistor to ground. These resistor values and their allow-
able locations are shown in detail in the PCI Express Layout
Guidelines section.
The PI6C557-03A can be configured for LVDS compatible volt-
age levels. See the LVDS Compatible Layout Guidelines section.
