Functional Description The CY25811/12/14 products are Spread Spectrum Clock Generator (SSCG) ICs used for the purpose of reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) found in today’s high speed digital electronic systems. The devices use a Cypress proprietary phase-locked loop (PLL) and Spread Spectrum Clock (SSC) technology to synthesize and modulate the frequency of the input clock. By frequency modulating the clock, the measured EMI at the fundamental and harmonic frequencies is greatly reduced. This reduction in radiated energy can significantly reduce the cost of complying with regulatory agency requirements and improve time to market without degrading system performance. The input frequency range is 4 to 32 MHz and accepts clock, crystal and ceramic resonator inputs. The output clock can be selected to produce 1x, 2x, or 4x multiplication of the input frequency with Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation. The use of 2x or 4x frequency multiplication eliminates the need for higher order crystals and enables the user to generate up to 128 MHz Spread Spectrum Clock (SSC) by using only first order crystals. This reduces the cost while improving the system clock accuracy, performance and complexity. Center Spread or Down Spread frequency modulation can be selected by the user based on four discrete values of Spread % for each Spread mode with the option of a Non Spread mode for system test and verification purposes. The CY25811/12/14 products are available in an 8 pin SOIC (150 mil.) package with a commercial operating temperature range of 0 to 70°C and Industrial Temperature range of –40 to 85°C. Refer to CY25568 for multiple clock output options such as modulated and unmodulated clock outputs or Power-down function. For Automotive applications, refer to CY25811/12/14SE data sheets.
