CY22050 Frequency Calculation
The CY22050 is an extremely flexible clock generator with up to
six individual outputs, generated from an integrated PLL.
There are four variables used to determine the final output
frequency. They are: the input REF, the P and Q dividers, and
the post divider. The three basic formulas for determining the
final output frequency of a CY22150-based design are:
■ CLK = ((REF * P)/Q)/Post Divider
■ CLK = REF/Post Divider
■ CLK = REF
The basic PLL block diagram is shown in Figure 2. Each of the
six clock outputs has a total of seven output options available to
it. There are six post divider options: /2 (two of these), /3, /4,
/DIV1N, and DIV2N. DIV1N and DIV2N are separately calculated
and can be independent of each other. The post divider options
can be applied to the calculated PLL frequency or to the REF
directly.
In addition to the six post divider options, the seventh option
bypasses the PLL and passes the REF directly to the crosspoint
switch matrix.

Matrix
Each of the six clock outputs can come from any of seven unique
frequency sources. The crosspoint switch matrix defines which
source is attached to each individual clock output. Although it
may seem that there are an unlimited number of divider options,
there are several rules that must be taken into account when
selecting divider options.

/DIV1N Clock output uses a generated /DIV1N option from Divider Bank 1. Allowable values for DIV1N are 4 to 127.
If Divider Bank 1 is not being used, set DIV1N to 8.
/2 Clock output uses a fixed /2 option from Divider Bank 1. If this option is used, DIV1N must be divisible by 4.
/3 Clock output uses a fixed /3 option from Divider Bank 1. If this option is used, set DIV1N to 6.
/DIV2N Clock output uses a generated /DIV2N option from Divider Bank 2. Allowable values for DIV2N are 4 to 127.
If Divider Bank 2 is not being used, set DIV2N to 8.
/2 Clock output uses a fixed /2 option from Divider Bank 2. If this option is used, DIV2N must be divisible by 4.
/4 Clock output 2 uses a fixed /4 option from Divider Bank 2. If this option is used, DIV2N must be divisible by 8.
