Cypress Ships Programmable Spread-Spectrum Clock Generators For EMI Reduction
Timing Solution With Versatile Programming Features and
Multi-Function Outputs Benefits High-Speed Digital Systems
Such as PC Peripherals, Networking and Consumer Applications
SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—April 20, 2004—
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE:CY), a world leader in
timing-technology solutions, announced volume production of its
programmable spread-spectrum clock generator (SSCG). The CY25200ZZC
offers versatile programming features, multi-function outputs and
control pins, enabling this single-chip SSCG to replace alternative
two-chip solutions while significantly reducing electro-magnetic
interference (EMI).
Today's high-speed digital electronic systems are a breeding
ground for EMI; spread spectrum technology is a highly effective way
to reduce it. The CY25200ZZC features unsurpassed flexibility and
provides a wide range of spread percentages for maximum EMI reduction.
By integrating frequency synthesis and input gain block into the
CY25200ZZC, the device can run effectively with any crystal or crystal
oscillator input. By using this device, Cypress customers can
eliminate difficult to use higher-order crystals or crystal
oscillators.
"The challenge of designing high-speed digital systems today is
meeting higher performance demands while effectively reducing EMI,"
said Mehdi Behnami, product marketing manager for Cypress's Timing
Technology Division. "The CY25200ZZC significantly reduces the cost of
complying with electro magnetic compliance (EMC) standards, at the
same time speeding time-to-market without degrading system
performance."
The CY25200ZZC features six clock outputs and offers a wide
operating output frequency range, which enables designers to program
the EMI reduction from 3 to 200 MHz. In order to meet regulatory
agency electromagnetic compliance (EMC) requirements, programmable
spread-spectrum feature provide a wide range of down or center spread
percentages (0.5 to 5.0%) for maximum EMI reduction. Depending on the
application, the CY25200ZZC provides up to 20 dB EMI reduction using a
worst-case harmonic.
Pricing and Availability
The CY25200ZZC is available now in a 16-pin TSSOP package with a
commercial operating temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees C. The
CY25200ZZZ is priced at $1.35 per unit in 1,000 unit quantities.
