Product details
Overview
CY28410ZXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a clock generator IC compliant with Intel® CK410 specification, designed for Intel Grantsdale chipset platforms. It delivers differential CPU clocks up to 266 MHz, 100-MHz differential SRC clocks, 96-MHz dot clock, 48-MHz USB, and 33-MHz PCI clocks - all from a single 14.318-MHz crystal input. Used in desktop motherboards for P4 and Tejas CPUs.
For engineers reviewing the CY28410ZXCT datasheet, CY28410ZXCT pinout, CY28410ZXCT application, or CY28410ZXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C programmability, selectable CPU frequency modes (100/133/200/266 MHz), Lexmark spread-spectrum EMI reduction, differential output drive capability, and support for VTT_PWRGD#-synchronized configuration latching.
Technical Context
The CY28410ZXCT integrates two PLLs: PLL1 locks to the 14.318-MHz crystal reference (XIN/XOUT) to generate core timing, while PLL2 synthesizes CPU and SRC frequencies. Frequency selection is determined by FS_A/FS_B/FS_C logic levels sampled once at VTT_PWRGD# assertion - enabling stable boot-time clock configuration without runtime reconfiguration.
It supports SMBus-compatible I²C interface (SCLK/SDATA) for dynamic control of individual output enables, spread-spectrum activation, and power-down states. All differential outputs (CPUT/CPUC, SRCT/SRCC, DOT96T/DOT96C) meet LVDS-compatible voltage swing and skew requirements for high-speed synchronous interfaces.
Key Specifications

| Multi-rail power isolation | Independent VDD/VSS supplies for CPU, SRC, PCI, USB, REF, and analog PLL sections reduce cross-talk |
Applications
| Desktop Motherboard Timing | Intel P4-Based Workstation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICS952002AGLFT | Single PLL architecture; no I²C interface; fixed 266-MHz CPU output only | Lacks spread spectrum, per-output control, and SRC clock flexibility - limited to basic Grantsdale designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs configurability needs and SATA timing is not required |
| ICS952012AGLFT | Includes integrated spread-spectrum oscillator; no external crystal required; no I²C readback capability | Eliminates crystal BOM but sacrifices fine-grained output control and real-time status monitoring | Select for simplified layout where crystal placement is constrained and register visibility is non-critical |
Compared with ICS952002AGLFT and ICS952012AGLFT, the CY28410ZXCT provides superior design flexibility through its dual-PLL architecture, full I²C register access, and independent enable/disable control of all 22 outputs - essential for complex motherboard power sequencing and EMI compliance tuning.

FAQ
What crystal specifications are mandatory for CY28410ZXCT operation?
The CY28410ZXCT requires a 14.31818 MHz parallel-resonant AT-cut crystal with 20 pF load capacitance, ≤0.1 mW drive level, and ≤35 ppm initial tolerance. Substituting a series-resonant crystal causes frequency error exceeding ±300 ppm and violates timing specs.
How does VTT_PWRGD# affect clock configuration timing?
VTT_PWRGD# is a level-sensitive strobe that latches FS_A/FS_B/FS_C logic states and triggers internal register initialization. Once asserted low, it disables further FS pin sampling - ensuring deterministic clock setup before CPU reset release. No reconfiguration is possible after this point.
Can all 22 clock outputs be disabled simultaneously via I²C?
Yes - Control Registers 0–2 provide individual enable bits for all differential and single-ended outputs. Writing 0x00 to registers 0–2 disables CPUT/CPUC, SRCT/SRCC, DOT96, USB_48, REF, PCI, and PCIF outputs. The I²C interface remains active for re-enabling.
Is spread-spectrum modulation applied to all clock outputs?
No - Lexmark spread-spectrum is applied only to CPU and SRC clock outputs (CPUT/CPUC, SRCT/SRCC). DOT96, USB_48, REF, and PCI outputs remain unmodulated to preserve timing accuracy for video, USB, and legacy peripherals.
