CY24206ZXC-4

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Overview

The CY24206ZXC-4 is a MediaClock DTV and STB clock generator manufactured by Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress Semiconductor). It operates on a single 3.3V supply within the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device features an integrated phase-locked loop with up to 400-MHz internal operation, providing low-jitter outputs with peak-to-period jitter of 200 ps. It utilizes a 16-pin TSSOP package and accepts a 27 MHz reference input via XIN/XOUT pins. Outputs include selectable frequencies for CLK1, CLK2, CLK3, and REFCLK, configured via FS0, FS1, and FS2 pins.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape-and-reel or standard packaging. Ensure the lead-free designation aligns with environmental compliance requirements for the target assembly process.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Selection Notes

Select this model when a 27 MHz reference input is available and multiple frequency-divided outputs are needed. Compare against CY24206 variants based on the specific number of required outputs and frequency combinations. Verify that the 15 pF load capacitance requirement fits the PCB trace design.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Part Context

This component belongs to the MediaClock family designed for digital video applications. It replaces older discrete clocking solutions by integrating the oscillator and divider logic into a single surface-mount package, reducing board space and improving signal integrity compared to external crystal setups.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include CY24206ZC-4 and CY24206ZXC-4T. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Cross-reference with CY24206-4 for functional equivalence in non-lead-free contexts.
