Product details
Overview
CY25482SXIT from Cypress Semiconductor is a two-PLL programmable clock generator with spread spectrum capability, designed for EMI reduction in high-speed digital systems. It accepts 2.5 V/3.0 V/3.3 V external reference clocks (8–166 MHz), delivers three glitch-free outputs (3–166 MHz), supports center/down spread spectrum modulation (±0.125% to –5.0%), and operates in commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) with 2.25–3.60 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the CY25482SXIT datasheet, CY25482SXIT pinout, CY25482SXIT application, or CY25482SXIT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-PLL frequency synthesis, programmable drive strength (1.0–6.8 ns rise/fall), multifunction pins (FS0/FS1/SSON), and factory-programmable nonvolatile configuration for custom clock trees in PC and networking platforms.
Technical Context
The CY25482SXIT integrates two independent fractional-N PLLs enabling simultaneous generation of unrelated output frequencies from a single external reference clock-no crystal required. Its crossbar switch allows arbitrary assignment of XIN/EXCLKIN, PLL1, or PLL2 as source for each of three outputs.
Spread spectrum is implemented per-PLL with selectable lexmark or linear modulation profiles, and controlled via CLK2/SSON pin. Frequency switching between up to four preprogrammed settings is glitch-free when using output dividers, ensuring uninterrupted system timing during dynamic reconfiguration.

Equivalent & Alternatives
Cypress CY25482SXIT has two verified drop-in alternatives with documented functional overlap and known trade-offs in voltage support, package, or feature set.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5338A-D-GM | Four-output, I²C-programmable; requires external EEPROM; supports 1.8 V–3.3 V; higher integration but larger QFN32 package | Used where multi-output flexibility and field reprogramming are required; not suitable for space-constrained SOIC layouts | Select if system needs post-deployment clock reconfiguration or >3 outputs; avoid if SOIC footprint and one-time programming are mandatory |
| ICS8430I-01T | Two-output, fixed-frequency LVDS/LVPECL; no spread spectrum; 3.3 V only; lower jitter (<0.3 ps RMS) but no frequency agility | Deployed in legacy telecom line cards where deterministic low-jitter clocks outweigh EMI reduction needs | Select for ultra-low-jitter applications with static clock trees; avoid when spread spectrum or frequency select functionality is required |
Compared with Si5338A-D-GM and ICS8430I-01T, CY25482SXIT uniquely balances SOIC-8 footprint, factory-programmable spread spectrum, and dual-PLL agility-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, EMI-regulated PC and peripheral designs where field reprogramming is unnecessary.

FAQ
Is CY25482SXIT compatible with a crystal oscillator input?
No. Unlike CY25402/CY25422, CY25482SXIT lacks crystal oscillator circuitry: Pin 1 is EXCLKIN (external clock only), and Pin 8 is DNU-not XOUT. It requires a buffered 2.5 V/3.0 V/3.3 V LVCMOS reference clock (8–166 MHz). Crystal-based designs must use CY25402 or CY25422 instead.
What does "DNU" on Pin 8 mean, and how should it be handled?
"DNU" stands for "Do Not Use." Pin 8 is internally unconnected and must not be soldered to any net. Best practice is to leave it floating or tie it to GND with a 0 Ω resistor for mechanical stability-never connect to VDD or signal lines, as this may cause latch-up or undefined behavior per Cypress design guidelines.
Can spread spectrum be enabled independently on CLK1 and CLK2 outputs?
Yes. Each PLL (PLL1 → CLK1, PLL2 → CLK2) has independent spread spectrum control. CLK2/SSON pin selects global SSC enable/disable, but individual PLL registers determine whether each output applies center-spread, down-spread, or no modulation-verified in Cypress's CY25482 configuration software and .jed file generation flow.
Does CY25482SXIT support I²C or SPI configuration after soldering?
No. CY25482SXIT is factory-programmed with one-time programmable (OTP) memory. Configuration is locked at manufacturing via a .jed file; no serial interface exists for in-system reprogramming. All settings-including PLL ratios, SSC profiles, drive strength, and pin functions-are immutable after programming.
