Product details
Overview
CY28329OXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 133-MHz spread-spectrum clock synthesizer/driver with four pairs of differential CPU outputs, ten synchronous PCI clocks, six 3.3V 66-MHz clocks, two fixed 48-MHz USB/DOT clocks, and one 14.318-MHz reference output - all in a single 56-pin SSOP package. It integrates dual PLLs, SMBus programmability, and power-down control (PD#, PCI_STOP#) for motherboard-level timing in multi-CPU, AGP, and PCI/ISA systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY28329OXC datasheet, CY28329OXC pinout, CY28329OXC application, or CY28329OXC equivalent, this device supports ACPI-compliant power management, EMI reduction via down-spread spectrum, configurable CPU frequency selection (100/133 MHz), and per-output enable/disable via SMBus - critical for high-density PC motherboard and chipset clocking design.
Technical Context
The CY28329OXC employs two independent PLLs: PLL1 generates CPU and REF clocks from a 14.318-MHz crystal input, while PLL2 derives PCI, 3V66, and USB clocks from either the 66-MHz internal VCO or external 66IN. Its SMBus interface (slave address 0xD2) enables runtime configuration of 32 registers for individual buffer enable/disable, VCH/66MHz mode selection, and spread-spectrum activation.
It supports three-level mode select (S2) and dual LVTTL inputs (S1, MULT0) to configure CPU frequency and output current drive strength (via IREF resistor). VTTPWRGD# strobes input sampling at power-up, ensuring deterministic initialization of S1/S2/MULT0 before clock distribution begins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max CPU Output Frequency | 133 MHz - supports Pentium III/IV-class dual-processor motherboards with differential signaling compliance. |
| Spread Spectrum Range | Down-spread only, ±0.25% - reduces EMI peak amplitude without requiring system-level redesign. |
| Output Types | Four differential CPU pairs (Type X1, 50 Ω), ten PCI (Type 5), six 3V66, two 48-MHz USB/DOT (Type 3A/3B), one REF - each with independent enable control. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.135–3.465 V - compatible with standard 3.3V logic rails; no sequencing required between VDD_CORE, VDD_CPU, and VDD_PCI. |
| Jitter Performance | CPU cycle-cycle jitter ≤150 ps - meets Intel's CPU clock stability requirement for 133-MHz FSB operation. |
| SMBus Address | 0xD2 (11010010) - supports block write only; enables post-power-up reconfiguration of all clock buffers and modes. |
| Power-Down Current | 25–45 mA (depending on IREF setting) - achieves >90% current reduction vs. active mode (360 mA) during ACPI S3/S4 states. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin SSOP (0.209" body width), RoHS-compliant, JEDEC MO-153 compliant. Thermal pad not present; standard PCB land pattern applies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF (Pin 56) | Reference Clock Output | 3.3V CMOS 14.318-MHz output; drives chipset PLL reference input with <1 ns skew tolerance. |
| CPU0–CPU3 / CPU0#–CPU3# (Pins 44,45,48,49,51,52,53,54) | Differential CPU Clock Outputs | Four LVDS-compatible pairs; each pair delivers matched rise/fall times (175–700 ps) and <150 ps inter-pair skew. |
| PCI0–PCI6 (Pins 10,11,12,13,16,17,18) | Synchronous PCI Clock Outputs | Seven 33-MHz outputs derived from 66IN or internal 66-MHz VCO; individually controllable via SMBus register Byte 2. |
| 3V66_0 (Pin 33), 3V66_1/VCH (Pin 35) | 66-MHz / 48-MHz Selectable Outputs | 3V66_0 fixed at 66 MHz; 3V66_1/VCH configurable via SMBus Bit 5 to output either 66 MHz or 48 MHz for USB host controller sync. |
| USB (Pin 39), DOT (Pin 38) | Fixed 48-MHz Clock Outputs | Guaranteed +167 ppm accuracy for USB 1.1 compliance; edge-rate programmable via SMBus Byte 5 Bits 1 & 3. |
| PD# (Pin 25), PCI_STOP# (Pin 34) | Active-Low Power Control Inputs | Hardware-driven shutdown: PD# disables all outputs except REF; PCI_STOP# halts PCI[0:6] while preserving PCI_F[0:2] free-running mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual PLL Architecture | Independent PLL1 (CPU/REF) and PLL2 (PCI/3V66/USB) prevent cross-domain jitter coupling and allow asynchronous frequency domains. |
| Per-Output SMBus Enable/Disable | 32-byte register map allows runtime masking of any clock buffer - essential for dynamic power gating in ACPI S0ix states. |
| VCH/66MHz Mode Switching | SMBus Bit 5 toggles Pin 35 between 66 MHz (AGP hub link) and 48 MHz (USB host) - eliminates need for external multiplexer. |
| VTTPWRGD# Strobed Initialization | Ensures S1/S2/MULT0 inputs are sampled only after VTT rail stabilization - guarantees deterministic boot-time CPU frequency selection. |
| Configurable Output Drive Strength | IREF resistor (221 Ω or 475 Ω) sets CPU output current (4× or 6× IREF), enabling optimization for trace impedance (50 Ω) and stub length. |
Applications
| Desktop Motherboard Clocking | Multi-CPU Server Board |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
Cypress CY28329OXC has two functionally aligned alternatives with documented compatibility in motherboard reference designs.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT 87010AGLFT | Single PLL architecture; no SMBus interface; fixed 133/100 MHz CPU outputs; no VCH/48-MHz mode switching. | Lacks runtime configurability - requires hardware strap changes for USB vs. AGP mode; no per-output enable. | Select when cost-sensitive, low-feature-count designs prioritize pin-for-pin replacement over flexibility. |
| ICS 952002AF | Supports 166-MHz CPU outputs; includes integrated 2.5V VTT regulator; SMBus read capability; no spread-spectrum. | Enables next-gen Pentium 4 FSB upgrades but increases thermal load; requires additional decoupling for VTT rail. | Select when future-proofing for 166-MHz platforms is required and EMI reduction is handled externally. |
Compared with IDT 87010AGLFT and ICS 952002AF, CY28329OXC uniquely balances SMBus configurability, spread-spectrum EMI suppression, and dual-PLL isolation - making it optimal for mid-life-cycle motherboard revisions requiring both USB 1.1 timing and legacy PCI/ISA support without hardware respins.

FAQ
What is the function of VTTPWRGD# on CY28329OXC?
VTTPWRGD# is a level-sensitive strobe that signals when the VTT voltage rail has stabilized. The device samples S1, S2, and MULT0 inputs only after VTTPWRGD# goes LOW, ensuring deterministic CPU frequency and drive strength selection at power-up. Once sampled, further transitions on VTTPWRGD# are ignored.
Can CY28329OXC generate both 48 MHz and 66 MHz simultaneously?
Yes. Pin 35 (3V66_1/VCH) is configurable via SMBus register Byte 0 Bit 5 to output either 66 MHz (AGP hub link) or 48 MHz (USB host), while Pins 38 (DOT) and 39 (USB) deliver fixed 48-MHz clocks, and Pin 33 (3V66_0) provides fixed 66-MHz - enabling concurrent 48/66-MHz timing domains without external logic.
How does spread-spectrum clocking work on CY28329OXC?
CY28329OXC implements down-spread spectrum only, modulating the CPU and PCI output frequencies by ±0.25% around their nominal values using a triangular waveform. This spreads energy across a 25–35 kHz bandwidth, lowering peak radiated emissions by up to 10 dBµV/m - verified per FCC Part 15 and CISPR 22 standards.
Is the 56-pin SSOP package of CY28329OXC pin-compatible with TSSOP?
Yes. The CY28329OXC is offered in both 56-pin SSOP (CY28329OXC) and 56-pin TSSOP (CY28329AXC) variants with identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and thermal specifications. Footprint compatibility allows direct substitution in existing layouts without PCB revision.
