Cypress Adds Fully Configurable Clock Generator To Enhance Flexibility Of InstaClock™ Family

Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE: CY), a world leader in timing technology solutions, today added a new configurable programmable clock generator to its unique InstaClock™ family of timing solutions. The new CY22801 clock brings increased flexibility to Cypress's InstaClock™ family, which features clocks that can be programmed in less than a minute, eliminating the need to wait days or weeks for custom-programmed parts or for a mask change.

Only Solution That Enables Customers to Create Custom Frequencies in 60 Seconds

Users can generate any desired frequency for the CY22801 clock with easy-to-use CyClocksRT™ software. The new InstaClock chip supports frequencies used in virtually any consumer electronic and communications applications, including Ethernet, PCI, USB, CPU, HDTV, and audio.

In addition, Cypress has added more than 60 widely used clock configurations to those available for the original InstaClock chip, the CY22800, which can be programmed instantly with any configuration within the list of defined frequencies. The CY22800 also features programmable spread spectrum from ±0.25% to ±2.0% and a Lexmark Profile for maximum EMI reduction, and VCXO capabilities with a pull-range of ±150 ppm to provide flexible crystal selection. Both InstaClock devices have a single integrated Phase-Locked Loop and deliver low jitter and high accuracy outputs.
