Crystal Recommendations
The CY28441 requires a Parallel Resonance Crystal. Substi-
tuting a series resonance crystal will cause the CY28441 to
operate at the wrong frequency and violate the ppm specifi-
cation. For most applications there is a 300-ppm frequency
shift between series and parallel crystals due to incorrect
loading. See Ta ble 5.
Crystal Loading
Crystal loading plays a critical role in achieving low ppm perfor-
mance. To realize low ppm performance, the total capacitance
the crystal will see must be considered to calculate the appro-
priate capacitive loading (CL).
Figure 1 shows a typical crystal configuration using the two
trim capacitors. An important clarification for the following
discussion is that the trim capacitors are in series with the
crystal not parallel. It’s a common misconception that load
capacitors are in parallel with the crystal and should be
approximately equal to the load capacitance of the crystal.
This is not true.
Calculating Load Capacitors
In addition to the standard external trim capacitors, trace
capacitance and pin capacitance must also be considered to
correctly calculate crystal loading. As mentioned previously,
the capacitance on each side of the crystal is in series with the
crystal. This means the total capacitance on each side of the
crystal must be twice the specified crystal load capacitance
(CL). While the capacitance on each side of the crystal is in
series with the crystal, trim capacitors (Ce1,Ce2) should be
calculated to provide equal capacitive loading on both sides.

Use the following formulas to calculate the trim capacitor
values for Ce1 and Ce2.

CLe.........................................Actual loading seen by crystal
using standard value trim capacitors
Ce..................................................... External trim capacitors

CLK_REQ[0:1]# Description
The CLKREQ#[A:B] signals are active LOW input used for
clean enabling and disabling selected SRC outputs. The
outputs controlled by CLKREQ#[A:B] are determined by the
settings in register byte 8. The CLKREQ# signal is a
de-bounced signal in that it’s state must remain unchanged
during two consecutive rising edges of DIFC to be recognized
as a valid assertion or de-assertion. (The assertion and
deassertion of this signal is absolutely asynchronous.)
