Product details
Overview
CY22801KFXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a flash-programmable universal clock generator with integrated PLL, supporting up to three LVCMOS clock outputs (CLKA, CLKB, CLKC), 1–133 MHz input range (crystal or external clock), and programmable spread spectrum (±0.25% to ±2.5%) for EMI reduction. It operates at 3.3 V across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in an 8-pin SOIC package, used in consumer audio/video and communications infrastructure timing systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY22801KFXCT datasheet, CY22801KFXCT pinout, CY22801KFXCT application, or CY22801KFXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C-configurable output frequencies, VCXO analog tuning capability (pin 3), spread-spectrum modulation frequency options (30.1/31.5/32.9 kHz), and compatibility with CyClocksRT™-generated JEDEC programming files for production-ready clock synthesis.
Technical Context
The CY22801 implements a proprietary integer-N PLL architecture with dual post-dividers (DIV1N/DIV2N) and a crosspoint switch matrix enabling independent routing of REF, PLL-derived, or bypassed signals to each of three outputs. Its oscillator gain is programmable via register to match crystal load capacitance requirements.
VCXO functionality uses analog voltage on pin 3 to pull crystal frequency within ±200 ppm, while spread spectrum modulates the VCO output uniformly across all outputs-though VCXO and SSCG are mutually exclusive. The device supports volatile I²C programming (address 0x69) and nonvolatile flash configuration via CyClocksRT™ and CY36800 dongle.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Frequency Range | 1–133 MHz (external CLKIN) or 8–30 MHz (crystal XIN/XOUT); enables flexible reference sourcing without external buffers. |
| Output Frequency Max | 200 MHz (commercial), 166.6 MHz (industrial); meets high-speed interface timing (e.g., DDR2 memory clocks, PCIe Gen1). |
| Spread Spectrum Range | ±0.25% to ±2.5% center-spread or –0.5% to –5.0% down-spread; reduces peak EMI by spreading energy across 30–33 kHz band. |
| Modulation Frequency | 30.1 / 31.5 / 32.9 kHz; selectable via register to avoid interference with system noise-sensitive bands. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±10%; compatible with standard LDO-regulated digital power rails in embedded and communications boards. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade deployment in base stations and set-top boxes. |
| I²C Address | 0x69 (default), reprogrammable; allows coexistence with other I²C peripherals on same bus without address conflict. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), JEDEC MS-012AC, body size 4.9 × 3.9 mm, lead pitch 1.27 mm, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (XIN/CLKIN) | Reference input | Accepts either crystal (8–30 MHz) or buffered clock (1–133 MHz); internal oscillator gain configurable per crystal spec. |
| 2 (VDD) | Power supply | 3.3 V main supply; decoupling capacitor required near pin for low-noise PLL operation. |
| 3 (SDAT/FS0/VCXO/OE/PD#) | Multifunction terminal | Configurable as I²C data line, frequency select 0, VCXO analog control (0–3.3 V), output enable, or active-low power-down. |
| 4 (VSS) | Ground | Digital ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance PCB plane for jitter-sensitive clock paths. |
| 5 (CLKB/FS1/SCLK) | Output / control | Primary clock output B or frequency select 1 or I²C clock line; function selected at programming time. |
| 6 (CLKA) | Output | Dedicated LVCMOS clock output A; no multifunction; routed directly from crosspoint matrix. |
| 7 (CLKC/FS2) | Output / control | Third clock output C or frequency select 2; not usable as reference clock output per datasheet restriction. |
| 8 (XOUT) | Crystal output | Drives external crystal; left floating when using external CLKIN; internal load caps reduce BOM count. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flash-programmable PLL | Nonvolatile configuration retains user-defined frequencies and settings after power cycle, eliminating boot-time I²C initialization. |
| Programmable crystal load capacitance | 8-bit register sets internal parallel-plate capacitors to match crystal CL spec (e.g., 12–20 pF), removing external caps and reducing layout sensitivity. |
| VCXO analog tuning | 0–3.3 V analog input on pin 3 pulls crystal frequency ±200 ppm, enabling precise lock to external master clock in telecom sync applications. |
| Three-output crosspoint matrix | Each output (CLKA/CLKB/CLKC) independently selects source: REF, PLL/VCO, or post-divided PLL, enabling mixed-frequency clock trees from single device. |
| I²C volatile programming | Runtime reconfiguration via standard 2-wire interface (0x69) supports dynamic frequency switching during system test or field firmware updates. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
Cypress CY22801KFXCT has two verified functional alternatives with documented differences in configuration method, output flexibility, and feature support.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT 5V41066APFGI | LVDS outputs only; no VCXO; fixed 2-output architecture; requires external EEPROM for nonvolatile config. | Limited to high-speed serial interfaces (e.g., PCIe, SATA); unsuitable for analog-tuned sync or multi-protocol clocking. | Select if LVDS signaling and deterministic startup timing are mandatory, and VCXO/SSCG are unnecessary. |
| ON Semi NB3N3010BDR2G | 3.3 V LVCMOS outputs; no spread spectrum; no VCXO; I²C-only volatile config; no flash memory. | Lower-cost option for static clock trees where EMI reduction and frequency pulling are not required. | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer designs with fixed clock requirements and no need for field reprogramming or EMI mitigation. |
Compared with IDT 5V41066APFGI and ON Semi NB3N3010BDR2G, CY22801KFXCT uniquely combines flash-based nonvolatile configuration, analog VCXO tuning, and programmable spread spectrum-all in a 3-output SOIC package-making it optimal for field-deployable, EMI-constrained, and synchronization-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the default state of CY22801KFXCT after power-up?
When unprogrammed, CY22801KFXCT powers up with all outputs tri-stated, crystal oscillator active, and all registers set to zero. It remains in this state until configured via I²C or programmed with a JEDEC file. Factory-shipped parts are blank; distributors typically pre-program them per customer specifications using CyClocksRT™.
Can CY22801KFXCT generate three unrelated output frequencies?
No-outputs are derived from either the same PLL VCO frequency or the common reference input, so their frequencies must be integer-related. For example, if REF = 25 MHz and PLL generates 500 MHz, CLKA = 500 MHz / 5 = 100 MHz and CLKB = 500 MHz / 8 = 62.5 MHz. True independent synthesis requires separate PLLs, which CY22801 does not provide.
How is spread spectrum enabled and controlled on CY22801KFXCT?
Spread spectrum is enabled by programming the SSCG register bits and assigning one multifunction pin (e.g., pin 3 or 5) as SSON. When SSON = 1, modulation is active on all outputs simultaneously. Modulation depth (±0.25% to ±2.5%) and frequency (30.1/31.5/32.9 kHz) are set via dedicated registers; VCXO and SSCG cannot operate concurrently.
Is external crystal load capacitance required for CY22801KFXCT?
No-CY22801KFXCT integrates programmable on-die load capacitors (0–31.5 pF in 0.09375 pF steps), eliminating external capacitors. Users enter crystal CL value in CyClocksRT™, which calculates and programs the optimal CapLoad register; this improves frequency stability across voltage, temperature, and board parasitics.
