Cypress Ships High-Performance MPEG Clock Generators
PLL-Based Devices with VCXO Build Upon Existing Clock Families To
Meet Critical Timing Requirements Of Multimedia Applications
SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—March 3, 2004—
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE:CY), a world leader in timing
technology solutions, today announced sampling of its
second-generation, high-performance family of MPEG clock generators.
Building upon the successful CY2410 and CY2411 families of clock
generators, the CY241V08ASC is tailored for multimedia applications
such as set-top box receivers, DVD-R players, xDSL modems, and other
applications requiring the accuracy and stability of a voltage
controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO).
The CY241V08ASC is phase-locked loop (PLL)-based clock generator
with a VCXO that enables frequency pulling (varied up or down),
thereby enabling an MPEG video stream to interface with an MPEG
processor. In addition, the CY241V08ASC features a more robust
oscillator architecture than alternative solutions -- providing more
flexibility and a wider selection of pullable crystals.
"By the end of 2006 it's estimated that over 56 million homes will
have some form of a set-top box," said Mike Ferreira, product
marketing manager for Cypress's Timing Technology division. "In order
to keep up with the growing demand and accompanying system
complexities, Cypress has leveraged what it learned from the past
generations of MPEG clock generators to provide a robust, yet flexible
clock generator at an affordable price."
Operating at 3.3 V, the CY241V08ASC offers a pullable VCXO output
at a variety of frequencies. The CY241V08ASC offers both linear and
nonlinear VCXO control curves.
Availability
The CY241V08ASC is available now in an 8-pin SOIC for $0.43 per
unit in 100,000 unit quantities.
