General Description
Four Configurable PLLs
The CY2544, CY2548 and CY2546 have four programmable
PLLs that can be used to generate output frequencies ranging
from 3 to 166 MHz. The advantage of having four PLLs is that a
single device generates up to four independent frequencies from
a single crystal.
Input Reference Clocks
The input to the CY2544, CY2548 and CY2546 can be either a
crystal or a clock signal. The input frequency range for crystal
(XIN) is 8 MHz to 48 MHz and that for external reference clock
(EXCLKIN) is 8 MHz to 166 MHz. The voltage range for the
reference clock input of CY2548 is 2.5 V/3.0 V/3.3 V while that
for CY2544 and CY2546 is 1.8 V. This gives user an option for
this device to be compatible for different input clock voltage
levels in the system.
There is provision for a secondary reference clock input, CLKIN
with applied frequency range of 8 MHz to 166 MHz. When CLKIN
signal at pin 21 is used as a reference input to the PLL, a valid
signal at EXCLKIN (as specified in the AC and DC Electrical
Specification table) must be present for the devices to operate
properly.
Multiple Power Supplies
These devices are designed to operate at internal supply voltage
of 1.8 V. In the case of the high voltage part (CY2544/CY2548),
an internal regulator is used to generate 1.8 V from the 2.5 V/3.0
V/3.3 V VDD supply voltage at pin 22. For the low 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.
