Product details
Overview
CY28445LFXC-5T from Silicon Labs is a clock generator IC designed specifically for Intel® Calistoga chipset platforms, delivering 100 MHz differential SRC clocks, 96 MHz differential dot clock, 27 MHz spread/non-spread video clock, 48 MHz USB clock, and 33 MHz PCI clock - all from a single 14.318 MHz crystal reference. It integrates CPU PLL, SRC PLL, fixed PLLs, and I²C programmability for system-level timing control in mobile computing motherboards.
For engineers reviewing the CY28445LFXC-5T datasheet, CY28445LFXC-5T pinout, CY28445LFXC-5T application, or CY28445LFXC-5T equivalent, key selection criteria include Intel CK410M compliance, differential LVDS output capability, per-clock enable/disable via CLKREQ#, spread spectrum control for EMI reduction, and 68-pin QFN package compatibility with Calistoga reference designs.
Technical Context
The CY28445LFXC-5T implements three independent PLLs: a CPU PLL supporting 100/133/166/200 MHz selectable frequencies, an SRC PLL generating 100 MHz differential serial reference clocks, and a fixed PLL for 96 MHz dot clock and 27 MHz video clocks. All outputs are LVDS-compliant with configurable drive strength and stoppable behavior.
It features dual-mode frequency select logic (FSA/FSB/FSC) sampled at VTT_PWRGD# assertion, I²C interface with readback capability (slave address D2h), and register-controlled spread spectrum (–0.45% to ±0.95% peak-to-peak), enabling precise EMI mitigation without external components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICS9LPR503AGT | Supports Intel 945GME chipset; offers 100/125/133 MHz CPU outputs but lacks 96 MHz dot clock and 27 MHz dual-spread video outputs | Targeted at desktop/mobile platforms with different chipset timing requirements; no native Calistoga support | Choose only if migrating from Calistoga to 945GME architecture; requires PCB layout change due to 48-pin TSSOP vs. 68-pin QFN |
| Si5338A-C-GM | Programmable 4-output clock generator with fractional-N synthesis; supports arbitrary frequencies but no built-in Intel CK410M compliance or dedicated SRC/PCI pinouts | Used in custom timing designs where flexibility outweighs chipset-specific optimization; requires external configuration EEPROM | Prefer when multi-frequency agility or jitter performance < 0.5 ps RMS is required; not drop-in for Calistoga reference designs |
Compared with ICS9LPR503AGT and Si5338A-C-GM, the CY28445LFXC-5T delivers guaranteed CK410M compliance, integrated 96 MHz dot clock, and hardware-mapped CLKREQ# control - reducing firmware complexity and validation effort for Calistoga-based systems.

FAQ
What is the crystal requirement for CY28445LFXC-5T?
The CY28445LFXC-5T requires a 14.31818 MHz parallel-resonant AT-cut crystal with 20 pF load capacitance, maximum 35 ppm initial tolerance, and 30 ppm temperature stability. Using a series-resonant crystal causes up to 300 ppm frequency error and violates specification compliance. The CY28445LFXC-5T datasheet specifies trim capacitor calculation: Ce = 2 × CL − (Cs + Ci), where Cs is stray capacitance and Ci is internal pin capacitance.
How does CLKREQ# control work on CY28445LFXC-5T?
CLKREQ# inputs (CLKREQ#[1,3:6,8]) are active-low, debounced signals that gate individual SRC outputs. Each CLKREQ# pin controls specific SRC[T/C] pairs via Control Registers 15–19 - for example, CLKREQ#1 can be assigned to SRC[T/C]1 through register bit 0 of Control Register 19. Deassertion stops outputs after next transition; assertion resumes them within 2–6 SRC clock periods, glitch-free. The CY28445LFXC-5T supports up to eight independently controllable SRC outputs.
Is CY28445LFXC-5T pin-compatible with other CY28445 variants?
Yes, CY28445LFXC-5T shares identical 68-pin QFN footprint and pinout with CY28445-5 and CY28445LFXC-5, differing only in tape-and-reel packaging (LFXC) and temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). All share identical electrical characteristics, register map, and timing behavior - making CY28445LFXC-5T a direct replacement in Calistoga reference designs requiring industrial temperature operation.
What spread spectrum options does CY28445LFXC-5T support?
The CY28445LFXC-5T supports 16 programmable spread spectrum profiles via Control Register 9 bits S[3:0], ranging from –0.45% to ±0.95% peak-to-peak modulation depth. Spread can be applied independently to CPU PLL (Control Register 8 bits 7–6), 27 MHz output (Control Register 9 bit 2), or LCD100M (Control Register 9 bit 1). The default setting is –0.45% down-spread, matching Lexmark's EMI reduction profile.
Does CY28445LFXC-5T support I²C readback of clock status?
Yes, CY28445LFXC-5T supports full I²C readback of all 20 control registers (0x00–0x13) via SMBus-compatible interface (SCLK/SDATA, slave address 0xD2). Engineers can verify real-time clock enable states (e.g., SRC[T/C]0 enabled via Register 0 bit 0), spread spectrum activation (Register 9 bit 1), or frequency select sampling results (Register 6 bits 2–0) - enabling closed-loop validation and debug without oscilloscope probing.
