All output frequencies are generated from a
14.318-MHz crystal input. A reference clock input instead of a crystal can be provided at the XIN input. Two
phase-locked loops (PLLs) are used, one to generate the host frequencies and the other to generate the 48-MHz
clock frequency. On-chip loop filters and internal feedback loops eliminate the need for external components.
The host and PCI clock outputs provide low-skew and low-jitter clock signals for reliable clock operation. All
outputs have 3-state capability, which can be selected via control inputs SEL0, SEL1, and SEL133/100.
The outputs are either 3.3-V or 2.5-V single-ended CMOS buffers. With a logic high-level on the PWR_DWN
terminal, the device operates normally, but when a logical low-level input is applied, the device powers down
completely, with the outputs in a low-level output state. When a high-level is applied to the PCI_STOP or
CPU_STOP, the outputs operate normally. With a low-level applied to the PCI_STOP or CPU_STOP terminals,
the PCI or CPU and 3V66 outputs, respectively, are held in a low-level state.
The CPU bus can operate at 100 MHz or 133 MHz. Output frequency selection is done with corresponding
setting for SEL133/100 control input. The PCI bus frequency is fixed to 33MHz.

description (continued)
Since the CDC924 is based on PLL circuitry, it requires a stabilization time to achieve phase lock of the PLL.
This stabilization time is required after power up or after changes to the SEL inputs are made. With use of an
external reference clock, this signal must be fixed-frequency and fixed-phase before the stabilization time starts.

spread spectrum clock (SSC) implementation for CDC924
Simultaneously switching at fixed frequency generates a significant power peak at the selected frequency,
which in turn will cause EMI disturbance to the environment. The purpose of the internal frequency modulation
of the CPU–PLL allows to distribute the energy to many different frequencies which reduces the power peak.
A typical characteristic for a single frequency spectrum and a frequency modulated spectrum is shown in
Figure 1.

∆
Non-SSC
SSC

Figure 1. Frequency Power Spectrum With and Without the Use of SSC
The modulated spectrum has its distribution left hand to the single frequency spectrum which indicates a
“down-spread modulation”.
The peak reduction depends on the modulation scheme and modulation profile. System performance and timing
requirements are the limiting factors for actual design implementations. The implementation was driven to keep
the average clock frequency closed to its upper specification limit. The modulation amount was set to
approximately –0.5%.
Period of Output Frequency – ns
In order to allow a downstream PLL to follow the frequency modulated signal, the bandwidth of the modulation
signal is limited in order to minimize SSC induced tracking skew jitter. The ideal modulation profile used for
CDC924 is shown in Figure 2.
