CY2X013FLXC

Overview

The CY2X013FLXC is a low-noise LVDS clock generator manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor Corp. It utilizes a phase-locked loop (PLL) architecture with a voltage control oscillator (VCO) to achieve typical RMS phase jitter of less than 1 ps. The device accepts an external crystal reference input, nominally 25 MHz, and generates one LVDS output pair. It supports operation at both 3.3 V and 2.5 V supply voltages and features an asynchronous enable/disable function via an OE pin. The component is housed in an 8-pin TSSOP package.

Feature Summary

• Generates low-noise LVDS clock signals using advanced PLL technology
• Achieves ultra-low phase jitter performance for high-speed applications
• Supports flexible power supply requirements including 3.3 V and 2.5 V
• Features asynchronous output enable control for system management

Applications

• High-performance computing systems requiring precise clocking
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing LVDS interfaces
• Test and measurement instruments demanding low jitter
• Data acquisition systems with high-speed parallel interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix FLXC against official datasheets to confirm package type and temperature range. Ensure compatibility with existing 3.3 V or 2.5 V power rails. Confirm that the single LVDS output configuration meets the target design requirements. Check for end-of-life status as Cypress products may have transitioned to Infineon.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low phase jitter is critical for signal integrity. The single LVDS output limits use cases to point-to-point clock distribution. Verify that the 25 MHz crystal reference frequency matches the system oscillator requirements. Consider the TSSOP package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management.
