Product details
Overview
CY22381SXI-213T from Cypress Semiconductor is a three-PLL, flash-programmable clock generator in an 8-pin SOIC package operating at 3.3 V. It delivers up to three independent, low-jitter clock outputs derived from either a crystal (8–30 MHz) or external reference (up to 166 MHz), with ultra-wide programmable dividers (11-bit P, 8-bit Q, 7-bit post-divide) and on-die linear crystal load capacitors (6–30 pF). Used in networking and datacom systems requiring multi-frequency clock synthesis with field reprogrammability.
For engineers reviewing the CY22381SXI-213T datasheet, CY22381SXI-213T pinout, CY22381SXI-213T application, or CY22381SXI-213T equivalent, key selection criteria include its triple-PLL architecture, glitch-free frequency select via FS pin, configurable suspend/shutdown/OE modes, 200 MHz max output frequency (commercial), and CyClocks RT™ software support for configuration validation and jitter optimization.
Technical Context
The CY22381SXI-213T implements three fully independent PLLs-each with an 11-bit feedback divider (P) and 8-bit reference divider (Q)-feeding a 4×3 crosspoint switch that routes any source (REF, PLL1, PLL2, PLL3) to CLKA, CLKB, or CLKC. Each output passes through a 7-bit post-divider with dual-register support for FS-controlled frequency switching.
Its crystal oscillator features programmable drive strength and on-die linear parallel-plate load capacitors (6–30 pF in 0.375 pF steps), eliminating external caps and reducing frequency drift across temperature, supply, and bias. The FS/SUSPEND/OE/SHUTDOWN pin (Pin 8) supports four mutually exclusive functional modes with guaranteed glitch-free transitions during frequency changes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±3.5% (3.135–3.465 V); enables compatibility with standard 3.3 V logic domains and reduces level-shifting overhead. |
| Reference Input Range | Crystal: 8–30 MHz; external clock: 1–166 MHz (industrial), 1–150 MHz (commercial); supports both fundamental-mode crystals and high-speed driven sources. |
| Max Output Frequency | 200 MHz (commercial), 166 MHz (industrial); sufficient for PCIe Gen1/2, Gigabit Ethernet PHY clocks, and DDR memory interfaces. |
| Output Jitter (pk-pk) | 200 ps period jitter; measured at VDD/2 under typical configuration; critical for timing-critical SerDes and ADC sampling clocks. |
| Crystal Load Capacitance | Programmable 6–30 pF in 0.375 pF steps; on-die linear capacitors eliminate external components and minimize frequency shift vs. temperature/supply. |
| Power Supply Current | 35 mA (3 outputs @ 50 MHz), 70 mA (3 outputs @ 166 MHz); enables accurate thermal budgeting in dense PCB layouts. |
| Shutdown Current | 5 µA typical; allows deep power-down during system idle states without losing flash configuration. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC), NiPdAu lead finish (per CY223811 variant designation), RoHS-compliant, body size 4.9 × 3.9 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKC (Pin 1) | Configurable clock output C | Routed from crosspoint switch + 7-bit post-divider; no FS register duplication; used for fixed-frequency system clocks. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog/digital ground reference | Single ground pin shared for all internal blocks; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize ground bounce and jitter. |
| XTALIN (Pin 3) | Clock reference input | Accepts either crystal (8–30 MHz) or external CMOS clock (1–166 MHz); duty cycle 40–60% required for external inputs. |
| XTALOUT (Pin 4) | Crytal feedback output | Drives crystal's other terminal; must be left floating when XTALIN is driven by external clock source. |
| CLKB (Pin 5) | Configurable clock output B | Routed from crosspoint switch + 7-bit post-divider with dual FS-selectable registers; supports dynamic frequency switching. |
| CLKA (Pin 6) | Configurable clock output A | Routed from crosspoint switch + 7-bit post-divider with dual FS-selectable registers; synchronized switching with CLKB avoids inter-clock interference. |
| VDD (Pin 7) | 3.3 V power supply | Supplies all internal circuitry including PLLs, dividers, and output drivers; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling per datasheet Figure 2. |
| FS/SUSPEND/OE/SHUTDOWN (Pin 8) | Multi-function control input | Configurable as frequency select (glitch-free dual-frequency mode), suspend (customizable PLL/output shutdown), OE (3-state all outputs), or full shutdown (<5 µA). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent PLL architecture | Enables simultaneous generation of three unrelated clock frequencies (e.g., 125 MHz, 100 MHz, 25 MHz) from one reference, eliminating multiple discrete oscillators. |
| Flash-based field programmability | Retains configuration through power cycles; supports in-system reprogramming via CyClocks RT™ without hardware modification or soldering. |
| On-die linear crystal load capacitors | 6–30 pF range with 0.375 pF resolution eliminates external capacitors and prevents frequency drift caused by non-linear FET-based loads. |
| Glitch-free frequency select (FS) | Switches between two pre-programmed configurations for PLL1, CLKA, and CLKB with zero-cycle glitches-critical for hot-plug and adaptive rate applications. |
| Configurable power management | Four distinct low-power modes (OE, Suspend, Shutdown, active) allow granular current reduction-from 35 mA down to 5 µA-without losing configuration state. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
Cypress CY22381SXI-213T has two verified drop-in alternatives with documented functional trade-offs.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT 5V41065APFGI | Two PLLs only; no FS pin; fixed 3.3 V operation; 150 MHz max output; no on-die crystal load caps (requires external 12–22 pF). | Lacks dynamic frequency switching and crystal capacitor integration; suitable only for static, dual-clock applications. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs configurability needs and crystal matching is tightly controlled. |
| Microchip SY89429LKC | Single PLL + fanout buffer; no flash programming; 3.3 V/2.5 V dual supply; 700 MHz max output; no suspend/shutdown modes. | Designed for high-frequency distribution-not synthesis; no field reprogrammability or low-power control. | Select only for simple clock fanout where synthesis flexibility and power management are unnecessary. |
Compared with IDT 5V41065APFGI and Microchip SY89429LKC, CY22381SXI-213T uniquely combines triple-PLL synthesis, field-flash reprogrammability, integrated crystal load tuning, and four-mode power control-making it the sole choice for compact, adaptive, multi-protocol timing in space-constrained networking and industrial systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum crystal frequency supported by CY22381SXI-213T?
The CY22381SXI-213T supports crystals from 8 MHz to 30 MHz, as specified in the "Recommended Crystal Specifications" table (Page 6) and "Operating Conditions" section (Page 5) of datasheet 38-07012 Rev. *L. This range applies to fundamental-mode parallel-resonant crystals with nominal load capacitance of 8–20 pF and ESR ≤50 Ω. External clock inputs up to 166 MHz are also supported, but crystals beyond 30 MHz are not validated or guaranteed.
Can CY22381SXI-213T generate three completely independent output frequencies simultaneously?
Yes. Its three independent PLLs (PLL1, PLL2, PLL3) each have dedicated 11-bit P and 8-bit Q dividers, allowing fully asynchronous frequency synthesis from a single reference. Outputs CLKA, CLKB, and CLKC are routed via a 4×3 crosspoint switch and can be assigned to REF, PLL1, PLL2, or PLL3 independently, with individual 7-bit post-dividers-enabling truly unrelated frequencies such as 125 MHz, 100 MHz, and 25 MHz from one 25 MHz crystal.
Does CY22381SXI-213T require external load capacitors when using a crystal?
No. The device integrates linear on-die parallel-plate crystal load capacitors programmable from 6 pF to 30 pF in 0.375 pF steps-eliminating the need for external capacitors. This is confirmed in the "Crystal Input" section (Page 4) and "Electrical Characteristics" table (Page 5, CXTAL_MIN/MAX). External capacitors are only required if using non-standard crystals outside the recommended 8–20 pF CLNOM range.
How does the FS pin enable glitch-free frequency switching?
The FS pin selects between two pre-programmed configurations stored in flash: one set for PLL1, CLKA, and CLKB dividers. Transitions occur synchronously with internal clock edges and are guaranteed glitch-free per the "General-Purpose Input" section (Page 3). The crosspoint switch and divider logic ensure no intermediate or undefined states-verified in silicon and documented in the "Operation" section (Page 3) and "Switching Characteristics" table (t5 = 150–300 ns three-state timing).
