voltage part (CY2546), this internal regulator is bypassed and
1.8 V at VDD pin 22 is directly used.
Output Bank Settings
There are nine clock outputs grouped in three output driver
banks. The Bank 1, Bank 2, and Bank 3 correspond to (CLK1,
CLK2, CLK3), (CLK4, CLK5, CLK6), and (CLK7, CLK8, CLK9)
respectively. Separate power supplies are used for each of these
banks and they can be any of 2.5 V, 3.0 V, or 3.3 V for
CY2544/CY2548 and 1.8 V for CY2546 giving user multiple
choice of output clock voltage levels.
Output Source Selection
These devices have programmable input sources for each of its
nine clock outputs (CLK1–9). There are six available clock
sources for these outputs. These clock sources are:
XIN/EXCLKIN, CLKIN, PLL1, PLL2, PLL3, or PLL4. Output clock
source selection is done using four out of six crossbar switch.
Thus, any one of these six available clock sources can be
arbitrarily selected for the clock outputs. This gives user a
flexibility to have up to four independent clock outputs.
Spread Spectrum Control
Two of the four PLLs (PLL3 and PLL4) have spread spectrum
capability for EMI reduction in the system. The device uses a
Cypress proprietary PLL and spread spectrum clock (SSC)
technology to synthesize and modulate the frequency of the PLL.
The spread spectrum feature can be turned on or off using a
multifunction control pin (CLK7/SSON). It can be programmed to
either center spread range from ±0.125% to ±2.50% or down
spread range from –0.25% to –5.0% with Lexmark or Linear
profile.
Frequency Select
There are three multifunction frequency select pins (FS0, FS1
and FS2) that provide an option to select eight different sets of
frequencies among each of the four PLLs. Each output has
programmable output divider options.
Glitch-Free Frequency Switch
When the frequency select pin (FS) is used to switch frequency,
the outputs are glitch-free provided frequency is switched using
output dividers. This feature enables uninterrupted system
operation while clock frequency is being switched.
PD#/OE Mode
PD#/OE (Pin 4) can be programmed to operate as either power
down (PD#) or output enable (OE) mode. PD# is a low-true input.
If activated it shuts off the entire chip, resulting in minimum power
consumption for the device. Setting this signal high brings the
device in the operational mode with default register settings.
When this pin is programmed as Output Enable (OE), clock
outputs can be enabled or disabled using OE (pin 4). Individual
clock outputs can be programmed to be sensitive to this OE pin.
Output Drive Strength
The DC drive strength of the individual clock output can be
programmed for different values. Tab le 1 shows the typical rise
and fall times for different drive strength settings.
Generic Configuration and Custom Frequency
There is a generic set of output frequencies available from the
factory that can be used for the device evaluation purposes. The
devices, CY2544, CY2548 and CY2546 can be custom
programmed to any desired frequencies and listed features. For
customer specific programming, please contact local Cypress
Field application engineer (FAE) or sales representative.
