Description
Si50122-A3/A4 is a high performance, crystal-less PCIe clock generator
that can generate two 100 MHz PCIe clock and one 25 MHz LVCMOS
clock outputs. The differential clock outputs are compliant to PCIe Gen1
and Gen 2 specifications. The ultra-small footprint (2.0x2.5 mm) and
industry leading low power consumption make Si50122-A3/A4 the ideal
clock solution for consumer and embedded applications where board
space is limited and low power is needed.
