Product details
Overview
CY28442ZXC-2 from Cypress Semiconductor is a programmable clock generator compliant with Intel® CK410M specification, designed for Intel Pentium-M CPU platforms. It delivers differential 100-MHz SRC clocks, 96-MHz dot clock, 48-MHz USB clock, 33-MHz PCI clock, and supports spread-spectrum modulation for EMI reduction. Operates from a single 3.3V supply in a 56-pin TSSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the CY28442ZXC-2 datasheet, CY28442ZXC-2 pinout, CY28442ZXC-2 application, or CY28442ZXC-2 equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C-configurable clock enable/disable per output, selectable CPU frequencies (100/133/166/200 MHz), independent CLKREQ# control of SRC outputs, and Lexmark-optimized spread-spectrum profile for flat-panel display timing compliance.
Technical Context
The CY28442ZXC-2 integrates three PLLs: PLL1 for CPU clock generation, PLL2 for SRC/PCI clocks, and PLL3 for 96-/100-MHz spreadable dot clock. All outputs are LVDS-compatible differential pairs with configurable drive strength and stoppability via dedicated CLKREQ# pins or system STP# signals.
Frequency selection is determined at power-up by sampling FS_A/FS_B/FS_C logic levels upon VTT_PWRGD# assertion, locking configuration permanently until reset. I²C interface (7-bit slave address 0xD2) enables runtime register access to control individual output enables, spread-spectrum settings, and stop modes - though not intended for dynamic power management during operation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT 8T49N241 | Higher integration: includes PCIe Gen3/Gen4 reference clocks, JESD204B support, and dual-loop PLL architecture | Targets modern server/communications platforms; lacks CK410M-specific features like Lexmark SSC profile | Choose when upgrading from Pentium-M to Core i-series or requiring multi-protocol clock synthesis |
| ON Semi NB3N3020B | Lower pin count (32-QFN), fixed 100-MHz SRC only, no I²C interface, no spread spectrum | Cost-optimized for basic SRC-only notebooks without display or USB clocking needs | Choose only if CK410M compliance, dot clock, or USB clock are unnecessary and BOM cost is primary constraint |
Compared with IDT 8T49N241 and ON Semi NB3N3020B, the CY28442ZXC-2 uniquely balances Intel-specific platform compliance, display-optimized spread spectrum, and granular per-output control - making it irreplaceable for legacy Alviso-based designs where timing accuracy, EMI certification, and pin-for-pin compatibility are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the function of the VTT_PWRGD# pin?
VTT_PWRGD# is a level-sensitive strobe that latches FS_A/FS_B/FS_C and ITP_EN/PCIF0 logic states at power-up to configure CPU frequency and output routing. After initial assertion (active LOW), it transitions to a real-time power-down input (active HIGH) for synchronous clock gating. Its timing must meet setup/hold requirements relative to VDD stabilization.
Can the 96-MHz dot clock be used at 100 MHz?
No - DOT96T/C outputs are hardwired to 96 MHz and cannot be reconfigured to 100 MHz. The 100-MHz capability applies only to the SRCT/CPUC differential pairs and the 96_100_SSCT/SSCC outputs, which are switchable via PCIF1/96_100_SEL pin (pin 9) sampled at VTT_PWRGD# assertion.
How is spread-spectrum modulation controlled?
Spread-spectrum is enabled per PLL via Control Register 0 bit 0 (CPU PLL1) and Control Register 4 bit 7 (96_100_SSC). The modulation profile (center frequency, deviation, rate) is fixed per the Lexmark specification and not user-adjustable; enabling it activates the pre-characterized waveform.
Is the I²C interface operational during system suspend?
No - the I²C interface is disabled during power-down states triggered by CPU_STP#, PCI_STP#, or VTTPWR_GD#/PD assertion. Configuration changes must occur during system initialization before entering low-power modes; runtime register access is unsupported during active suspend/resume sequences.
