Product details
Overview
CY2280PVXC-11ST from Cypress Semiconductor is a 100-MHz Pentium® II clock synthesizer/driver with factory-programmable spread-spectrum EMI reduction, delivering four 2.5V CPU clocks (66.67/100 MHz), eight 3.3V PCI clocks (33.33 MHz), two 48-MHz USB clocks, three 14.318-MHz reference clocks, and two APIC clocks - used on desktop and mobile PC motherboards requiring synchronized, low-jitter timing.
For engineers reviewing the CY2280PVXC-11ST datasheet, CY2280PVXC-11ST pinout, CY2280PVXC-11ST application, or CY2280PVXC-11ST equivalent, key selection criteria include CPU/PCI skew (1.5–4.0 ns), downspread margin (–0.6%), dual-voltage operation (2.5V/3.3V), and power management support via CPU_STOP, PCI_STOP, and PWR_DWN pins.
Technical Context
The CY2280PVXC-11ST integrates two PLLs - a CPU PLL and a system (SYS) PLL - to generate synchronized clocks from a 14.318-MHz crystal input. It supports selectable CPU/PCI ratios (2:1 or 3:1) and programmable CPU frequencies (66.67 MHz or 100 MHz) via SEL100/SEL1/SEL0 inputs.
Spread spectrum modulation is applied only to CPU and PCI outputs when SEL_SS is asserted, with factory-EPROM-set downspread of –0.6% at 30–33 kHz modulation frequency. Power-down mode shuts down both PLLs and drives all outputs low, reducing current to 500 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Clock Frequency | 66.67 MHz or 100 MHz - selectable via SEL100/SEL1/SEL0; actual measured values are 66.654 MHz (–195 ppm) and 99.77 MHz (–2346 ppm) |
| PCI Clock Frequency | 33.33 MHz - derived as CPU/2 or CPU/3; stable across temperature and load with 250 ps PCI-PCI skew |
| USB Clock Frequency | 48.008 MHz (±167 ppm) - low-jitter output for USB 1.1 host timing compliance |
| CPU-PCI Clock Skew | 1.5–4.0 ns - ensures setup/hold timing margin between CPU and PCI bus controllers |
| Spread Spectrum Margin | –0.6% downspread - factory-programmed EMI reduction on CPU and PCI clocks without external components |
| Supply Voltages | 2.5V for CPU/APIC outputs (VDDCPU/VDDAPIC); 3.3V for PCI/USB/REF outputs (VDDPCI/VDDUSB/VDDREF) |
| Power-Down Current | 500 µA - enables deep sleep mode during system idle, preserving board-level power budget |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin SSOP (0.240" wide), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with standard reflow profile.

| REF[0:2] (Pins 1–2, 47) | 3.3V reference clock outputs | Three 14.318-MHz clocks for ISA, SMBus, or other legacy peripherals requiring precise timing reference |
| SEL_SS (Pin 28) | Spread spectrum enable input | Active-HIGH signal enabling –0.6% downspread on CPU and PCI clocks; tied HIGH in -11ST configuration |
| CPU_STOP (Pin 30) | Active-LOW CPU clock control | Drives all CPUCLK outputs LOW during processor halt; ensures glitch-free transition without external logic |
| PWR_DWN (Pin 29) | Active-LOW power-down control | Shuts down internal oscillators and PLLs, reduces supply current to 500 µA, and forces all outputs LOW |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed 2.5V/3.3V supply domains | Enables direct interface to Pentium II CPU core (2.5V) and PCI/USB peripherals (3.3V) without level shifters |
| Factory-EPROM programmable outputs | Eliminates need for external configuration resistors or jumpers; CPU frequency, spread margin, and drive strength set at manufacturing |
| Glitch-free power management | On-chip synchronization ensures zero-cycle glitches during CPU_STOP, PCI_STOP, or PWR_DWN transitions |
| Low cycle-cycle jitter | CPU clock jitter ≤250 ps, PCI clock jitter ≤500 ps - meets Pentium II motherboard timing closure requirements |
| EMI-reduction via spread spectrum | –0.6% downspread at 30–33 kHz modulates fundamental energy, lowering peak radiated emissions without affecting system timing margins |
Applications
| Desktop PC Motherboard | Mobile Pentium II Platform |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock synthesizer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY2280PVXC-21ST | Supports APIC clocks at 16.67 MHz (PCI/2) instead of 14.318 MHz; adds CPU-APIC skew specification (2.0–4.5 ns) | Required for Pentium II systems using APIC interrupt routing at PCI-derived frequency | Select -21ST only if APIC must run at PCI/2; otherwise -11ST offers identical CPU/PCI/USB/REF functionality with simpler timing model |
| ICS9171AGT | Single 3.3V supply; no 2.5V outputs; supports 133-MHz CPU option; lacks spread spectrum and APIC outputs | Suitable for cost-sensitive desktop boards without APIC or EMI constraints | Choose ICS9171AGT only for 3.3V-only designs needing higher CPU frequency; not drop-in compatible due to voltage and pinout mismatch |
Compared with CY2280PVXC-21ST, the -11ST variant simplifies timing validation by omitting CPU-APIC skew, while retaining identical EMI control and power management. Against ICS9171AGT, the CY2280PVXC-11ST provides essential 2.5V CPU domain support and factory-programmed spread spectrum - critical for Pentium II compliance.

FAQ
What is the function of the SEL_SS pin on CY2280PVXC-11ST?
The SEL_SS pin (Pin 28) is an active-HIGH input that enables factory-programmed –0.6% downspread modulation on CPU and PCI clock outputs. When asserted, it activates spread spectrum clocking to reduce electromagnetic interference; when deasserted, clocks operate at nominal frequency. In the -11ST variant, this pin is internally configured for enabled spread spectrum.
Does CY2280PVXC-11ST support both 66.67 MHz and 100 MHz CPU clock outputs?
Yes. The CY2280PVXC-11ST supports both frequencies via SEL100, SEL1, and SEL0 inputs. With SEL100=1 and SEL1/SEL0=11, it delivers 100 MHz CPU clocks (measured at 99.77 MHz); with SEL100=0 and SEL1/SEL0=11, it delivers 66.67 MHz (measured at 66.654 MHz). Both configurations are fully supported in the -11ST option.
How does the CY2280PVXC-11ST handle power management signals like CPU_STOP and PWR_DWN?
CPU_STOP (Pin 30) is active-LOW and drives all CPUCLK outputs LOW while preserving PCI and USB clocks. PWR_DWN (Pin 29) is also active-LOW and shuts down the internal crystal oscillator and both PLLs, forcing all outputs LOW and reducing supply current to 500 µA. These functions are synchronized on-chip to prevent glitches.
Can CY2280PVXC-11ST be used with a 25-MHz crystal instead of the specified 14.318-MHz crystal?
No. The CY2280PVXC-11ST requires a parallel-resonant 14.318-MHz crystal with 18-pF load capacitance (XTALIN/XTALOUT pins). Its PLL architecture is optimized for this frequency; using 25 MHz would violate the reference input specification and prevent correct CPU/PCI ratio generation per the function table.
