General-Purpose Inputs
S2 is a general-purpose input that is programmed to enable two
frequency settings. The options that switch with this
general-purpose input are as follows: the frequency of PLL1, the
output divider of CLKB, and the output divider of CLKA.
The two frequency settings are contained within an eight-row
frequency table. The values of SCLK (S1) and SDAT (S0) pins
are latched during start-up and used as the other two indices into
this array.
CLKA and CLKB have seven-bit dividers that point to one of the
two programmable settings (register 0 or register 1). Both clocks
share a single register control and both must be set to register 0,
or both must be set to register 1.
For example, the part may be programmed to use S0, S1, and
S2 (0, 0, 0 to 1, 1, 1) to control eight different values of P and Q
on PLL1. For each PLL1 P and Q setting, one of the two CLKA
and CLKB divider registers can be chosen. Any divider change
as a result of switching S0, S1, or S2 is guaranteed to be
glitch-free.
Crystal Input
The input crystal oscillator is an important feature of CY24293
because of its flexibility and performance features.
The oscillator inverter has programmable drive strength. This
enables maximum compatibility with crystals from various
manufacturers. Parallel resonant, fundamental mode crystals
should be used.
The input load capacitors are placed on-die to reduce external
component cost. These capacitors are true parallel-plate
capacitors for ultra-linear performance. These were chosen to
reduce the frequency shift that occurs when nonlinear load
capacitance interacts with load, bias, supply, and temperature
changes. Nonlinear (FET gate) crystal load capacitors must not
be used for MPEG, communications, or other applications that
are sensitive to absolute frequency requirements.
The value of the load capacitors is determined by six bits in a
programmable register. The load capacitance can be set with a
resolution of 0.375 pF for a total crystal load range of 6 pF to
30 pF. Typical crystals have a C
L
specification in the range of
12 pF to 18 pF.
For driven clock inputs, the input load capacitors can be
bypassed. This allows the clock chip to accept driven frequency
inputs up to 166 MHz. If the application requires a driven input,
leave XTALOUT floating.
Crystal Drive Level and Power
Crystals are specified to accept a maximum drive level.
Generally, larger crystals can accept more power. For a specific
voltage swing, power dissipation in the crystal is proportional to
ESR and proportional to the square of the crystal frequency.
(Note that the actual ESR is sometimes much less than the value
specified by the crystal manufacturer.) Power is also almost
proportional to the square of C
L
.
Power can be reduced to less than the DL specified in Recom-
mended Crystal Specifications on page 11 by selecting a
reduced frequency crystal with low C
L
and low R
1
(ESR).
Digital VCXO
The serial programming interface is used to dynamically change
the capacitor load value on the crystal. A change in crystal load
capacitance corresponds with a change in the reference
frequency.
For special pullable crystals specified by Cypress, the
capacitance pull range is +150 ppm to –150 ppm from midrange.
Be aware that adjusting the frequency of the reference affects all
frequencies on all PLLs in a similar manner because all
frequencies are derived from the single reference.
Output Configuration
Under normal operation there are four internal frequency
sources that are routed through a programmable cross point
switch to any of the four programmable 7-bit output dividers. The
four sources are: reference, PLL1, PLL2, and PLL3. The
following is a description of each output.
■ CLKA’s output originates from the cross point switch and goes
through a programmable 7-bit post divider. The 7-bit post
divider derives its value from one of the two programmable
registers. See the section General-Purpose Inputs for more
information.
■ CLKB’s output originates from the cross point switch and goes
through a programmable 7-bit post divider. The 7-bit post
divider derives its value from one of the two programmable
registers. See the section General-Purpose Inputs for more
information.
■ CLKC’s output originates from the cross point switch and goes
through a programmable 7-bit post divider. The 7-bit post
divider derives its value from one programmable register.
■ CLKD’s output originates from the cross point switch and goes
through a programmable 7-bit post divider. The 7-bit post
divider derives its value from one programmable register.
■ CLKE’s output originates from PLL1 and goes through a post
divider that may be programmed to /2, /3, or /4.
■ XBUF is the buffered reference.
The clock outputs are designed to drive a single-point load with
a total lumped load capacitance of 15 pF. While driving multiple
loads is possible with the proper termination, it is generally not
recommended.
Power-Saving Features
The SHUTDOWN/OE input tristates the outputs when pulled
LOW. If system shutdown is enabled, a LOW on this pin also
shuts off the PLLs, counters, reference oscillator, and all other
active components. The resulting current on the V
DD
pins is less
than 5 mA (typical). Relock the PLLs after leaving the shutdown
mode.
The S2/SUSPEND
input is configured to shut down a
customizable set of outputs and/or PLLs, when LOW. All PLLs
and any of the outputs are shut off in nearly any combination.
The only limitation is that if a PLL is shut off, all outputs derived
from it must also be shut off. Suspending a PLL shuts off all
associated logic, while suspending an output simply forces a
tristate condition.
