Product details
Overview
CY25100SXC-062T from Cypress Semiconductor is a field- and factory-programmable spread spectrum clock generator (SSCG) IC designed to reduce electromagnetic interference in high-speed digital systems. It synthesizes and modulates clock signals using an integrated PLL, supports 3–200 MHz SSCLK output, ±0.25%–±2.5% center spread or –0.5%––5.0% down spread, and operates at 3.3 V in 8-pin TSSOP packaging. Used in PC motherboards and graphics subsystems for EMI compliance.
For engineers reviewing the CY25100SXC-062T datasheet, CY25100SXC-062T pinout, CY25100SXC-062T application, or CY25100SXC-062T equivalent, key selection criteria include programmable crystal load capacitance (12–60 pF), 31.5 kHz modulation frequency, dual outputs (REFCLK and SSCLK), and configurable PD#/OE and SSON# control logic.
Technical Context
The CY25100SXC-062T implements a proprietary PLL architecture with digital modulation control to generate frequency-modulated clock outputs. Its configuration memory array enables field reprogramming of spread percentage, crystal load capacitance, REFCLK enable state, and power/enable function selection (PD# vs OE).
It accepts either an 8–30 MHz fundamental crystal (via XIN/XOUT) or an 8–166 MHz external reference clock (via XIN only). The device delivers two independent outputs: REFCLK (non-spread, same frequency/phase as input) and SSCLK (spread-modulated, 3–200 MHz), both with CMOS-compatible drive strength and low cycle-to-cycle jitter (≤130 ps at 66 MHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency Range | 3 MHz to 200 MHz on SSCLK pin - supports wide range of system clocks including PCIe, DDR, and GPU pixel clocks. |
| Spread Spectrum Modulation | Nominal 31.5 kHz modulation frequency with ±0.25%–±2.5% center spread or –0.5%––5.0% down spread - directly reduces peak EMI amplitude by spreading energy across bandwidth. |
| Crystal Load Capacitance | Programmable 12–60 pF in 0.5 pF steps on XIN/XOUT - eliminates need for external load capacitors and enables precise crystal matching. |
| Input Frequency Support | 8–30 MHz crystal or 8–166 MHz external clock - accommodates legacy crystals and modern high-frequency reference sources without redesign. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.13–3.45 V (typ. 3.3 V) - compatible with standard 3.3 V digital rails and tolerant of board-level voltage variation. |
| Cycle-to-Cycle Jitter | ≤130 ps at 66 MHz SSCLK with REFCLK enabled - ensures timing margin integrity for synchronous interfaces like USB 2.0 and SATA. |
| Package | 8-pin TSSOP (3.0 × 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) - surface-mount compatible with automated assembly and thermal performance θJA = 161 °C/W. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VDD | Power supply input | 3.3 V main supply rail; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor for noise suppression. |
| 2 XOUT | Crystal oscillator output | Drives crystal's parallel resonant mode; left floating when external clock applied to XIN. |
| 3 XIN/CLKIN | Crystal input or reference clock input | Accepts 8–30 MHz crystal or 8–166 MHz single-ended clock; internal termination and biasing provided. |
| 4 PD#/OE | Configurable control input | Factory-programmed as active-low Power Down (PD#) or active-high Output Enable (OE); determines shutdown vs output gating behavior. |
| 5 VSS | Ground reference | Digital ground return path; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| 6 REFCLK | Non-spread reference output | Buffered copy of input clock (same frequency/phase); programmable enable/disable to reduce loading when unused. |
| 7 SSCLK | Spread spectrum clock output | Main EMI-reduction output; modulated per programmed spread profile; drives downstream clock trees with <15 pF load. |
| 8 SSON# | Spread spectrum enable | Active-low control: LOW enables frequency modulation; HIGH disables spread, delivering nominal unmodulated clock. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Field-programmable Flash memory | Up to 100 reprogramming cycles - enables late-stage design iteration and firmware-based clock tuning without hardware change. |
| Integrated crystal load capacitors | 12–60 pF programmable in 0.5 pF steps - removes external components, improves board-level EMI consistency, and simplifies crystal selection. |
| Dual independent clock outputs | REFCLK (unmodulated) + SSCLK (modulated) - allows simultaneous feeding of noise-sensitive analog blocks and EMI-critical digital subsystems from one IC. |
| Low cycle-to-cycle jitter | ≤130 ps at 66 MHz - preserves setup/hold margins for high-speed interfaces without requiring additional jitter cleaning circuitry. |
| Configurable power/output control | Factory-selectable PD# (power-down) or OE (output-enable) on Pin 4 - supports either full chip shutdown or selective clock gating based on system power states. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
Cypress CY25100SXC-062T has two verified drop-in alternatives with documented functional overlap and known trade-offs.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT 8T49N241 | Higher integration: includes I²C interface, multi-output (4x), and fractional-N PLL; requires external configuration EEPROM. | Supports dynamic spread adjustment and multi-frequency profiles; overqualified for fixed-configuration SSCG use cases. | Select only if future firmware-updatable spread control or multiple output frequencies are required; adds complexity and cost. |
| ON Semiconductor NB3N502 | Fixed factory-programmed spread (±0.5% center); no field reprogrammability; lower max output frequency (170 MHz). | Limited to static EMI reduction; unsuitable for prototyping or post-silicon tuning; lacks programmable load capacitance. | Choose for high-volume, cost-sensitive applications where spread profile and crystal match are finalized pre-production. |
Compared with IDT 8T49N241 and ON Semi NB3N502, CY25100SXC-062T uniquely balances field reprogrammability, integrated crystal tuning, and 200 MHz capability - making it optimal for development-phase EMI mitigation where clock parameters remain fluid.

FAQ
What is the default spread spectrum setting for CY25100SXC-062T?
The CY25100SXC-062T ships with factory-programmed settings that include center spread at ±0.5%, 31.5 kHz modulation frequency, and REFCLK enabled. These values are stored in nonvolatile Flash memory and can be modified using the CY3672 programmer with CY3690 socket adapter for TSSOP packages.
Can CY25100SXC-062T operate with a 100 MHz external reference clock?
Yes - the device accepts external reference clocks from 8 MHz to 166 MHz on the XIN pin. At 100 MHz input, it can synthesize SSCLK outputs from 3 MHz to 200 MHz via its internal PLL, with programmable division/multiplication ratios and spread modulation applied to the final output.
How does the programmable crystal load capacitance affect oscillator stability?
The 12–60 pF programmable load capacitance (CXIN/CXOUT) matches the crystal's specified load value (CL), minimizing frequency deviation and start-up time. For example, a 16 pF crystal with 2 pF PCB parasitics requires CXIN = CXOUT = 30 pF - ensuring ±10 ppm accuracy and reliable oscillation across temperature.
Is CY25100SXC-062T pin-compatible with other CY25100 variants?
Yes - all CY25100 variants (including SOIC and TSSOP packages) share identical 8-pin pinouts and electrical characteristics. The "SXC" suffix denotes TSSOP packaging and commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C), while functionality remains identical to SXI (industrial grade) and ZXCF (TSSOP field-programmable) versions.
