The CY2308SXC-2 is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor. It belongs to the family of clock distribution devices and is specifically designed to generate multiple clock signals with low skew and low jitter.
Key Features:
1. Clock Output Frequency: The CY2308SXC-2 supports a wide range of output frequencies from 133 MHz to 333 MHz, making it suitable for various applications.
2. Low Skew: The IC component ensures minimal skew between its output clocks. This feature is crucial in systems where multiple clocks need to be synchronized for proper operation and timing accuracy.
3. Low Jitter: Jitter refers to the variation in the timing of the clock signal edges. The CY2308SXC-2 minimizes jitter to ensure the stability and reliability of the generated clock signals.
4. Crystal Oscillator Interface: It includes an integrated crystal oscillator interface that allows easy connection to an external quartz crystal or ceramic resonator. This feature simplifies the clock generation process.
5. Output Enable Control: The CY2308SXC-2 provides an output enable control pin that allows the user to disable or enable specific clock outputs as required. This flexibility helps in power-saving scenarios or during system testing.
6. Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) Support: The IC can incorporate spread spectrum clocking technology, which intentionally modulates the output clock frequency to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions
