Product details
Overview
CY28RS400OXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a clock generator IC designed specifically for the ATI RS400 chipset platform, providing synchronized differential CPU clocks (up to 266 MHz), six 100-MHz differential SRC outputs, 33-MHz PCI, 48-MHz USB, and three 14.318-MHz REF clocks. It supports Intel CPU frequency selection via FS_A/B/C and 409_410 pins, features I²C programmability with readback, and integrates Lexmark spread-spectrum EMI reduction.
For engineers reviewing the CY28RS400OXC datasheet, CY28RS400OXC pinout, CY28RS400OXC application, or CY28RS400OXC equivalent, key selection criteria include differential output compliance with Intel Type-X/Type-5 buffers, VTT_PWRGD#-latched frequency configuration, per-output enable/disable via I²C registers, and multi-rail 3.3V power domain separation (VDD_CPU, VDD_SRC, VDD_PCI, etc.).
Technical Context
The CY28RS400OXC implements two independent PLLs: PLL1 locks to the 14.318-MHz crystal input (XIN/XOUT) to generate CPU and REF clocks; PLL2 synthesizes 100-MHz SRC clocks and derives 48-MHz USB and 33-MHz PCI outputs via integer dividers. Frequency selection is statically latched on VTT_PWRGD# assertion, enabling deterministic boot-time clock configuration.
I²C interface (SCLK/SDATA) provides full register access to eight control bytes-including per-output enables, spread-spectrum depth (-0.35% or -0.50%), drive strength (1x/2x), and CLKREQ#-controlled stop modes-allowing dynamic runtime reconfiguration of clock trees without reset.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT 87010AGLFT | Single 100-MHz SRC output; no CPU clock generation; lacks VTT_PWRGD# latch and FS pin interface | Targeted at generic PCI/USB timing, not ATI RS400 or Intel CPU platforms | Select only if only SRC clock synthesis is required and CPU/REF/PCI clocks are provided externally |
| Cypress CY28400ZXC | Same 56-pin SSOP package; supports AMD Athlon 64 platforms instead of Intel P4; different FS pin mapping and REF clock count | Designed for nForce2/nForce3 chipsets; incompatible CPU frequency tables and I²C register layout | Not interchangeable; requires full hardware and firmware redesign due to differing pin functions and register definitions |
Compared with IDT 87010AGLFT and CY28400ZXC, the CY28RS400OXC uniquely integrates CPU clock synthesis, VTT_PWRGD#-latched configuration, and ATI RS400-specific SRC topology - making it irreplaceable in its target platform without board-level redesign.

FAQ
What crystal specifications are required for stable operation?
The CY28RS400OXC requires a parallel-resonance 14.318-MHz crystal with specified load capacitance (CL). Substituting a series-resonance crystal causes ~300-ppm frequency error and violates ppm stability specs. Total capacitive loading must be twice the crystal's CL value due to series configuration of external trim caps, and trace/pin capacitance must be included in calculation.
How does VTT_PWRGD# affect frequency selection?
VTT_PWRGD# is a level-sensitive strobe that samples FS_A, FS_B, FS_C, and PCI0/409_410 inputs once when driven low, latching their logic states to configure CPU frequency. After this one-shot sampling, further transitions on those pins are ignored - ensuring deterministic boot-time clock setup independent of firmware timing.
Can the I²C interface be used during system operation?
No. The I²C interface is intended for system initialization only. Register changes (e.g., enabling/disabling clocks or adjusting spread-spectrum depth) must occur before normal operation begins. The interface cannot be used for real-time power management or dynamic reconfiguration during active system runtime.
What is the function of the CLKREQ# pins?
CLKREQ#0 and CLKREQ#1 are Minicard-compliant control inputs that dynamically gate selected SRC clock outputs. When asserted high, they place configured SRCT/C outputs into high-impedance state - reducing power and noise during low-power modes. Each pin controls a subset of SRC outputs as defined in I²C registers Bytes 4 and 5.
