This reduction in radiated energy can significantly reduce the
cost of complying with regulatory requirements and time to
market without degrading the system performance.
CY25561 is a very simple and versatile device to use. The
frequency and spread percentage range is selected by
programming S0 and S1 digital inputs. These inputs use three
logic states including high (H), low (L), and middle (M) logic
levels to select one of the nine available spread percentage
ranges. Refer to Frequency and Spread Percentage Selection
(Center Spread) on page 3 for programming details.
CY25561 is intended for use with applications with a reference
frequency in the range of 50 to 166 MHz.
A wide range of digitally selectable spread percentages is made
possible by using tri-level (high, low, and middle) logic at the S0
and S1 digital control inputs.
Functional Description
CY25561 is a spread spectrum clock generator (SSCG) IC used
to reduce electromagnetic Interference (EMI) found in today’s
high speed digital electronic systems.
CY25561 uses a Cypress proprietary phase-locked loop (PLL)
and spread spectrum clock (SSC) technology to synthesize and
frequency modulate the input frequency of the reference clock.
By doing this, the measured EMI at the fundamental and
harmonic frequencies of clock (SSCLK) is reduced.
The output spread (frequency modulation) is symmetrically
centered on the input frequency.
Spread spectrum clock control (SSCC) function enables or
disables the frequency spread and is provided for easy
comparison of system performance during EMI testing.
CY25561 is available in an eight-pin SOIC package with a 0 °C
to 70 °C operating temperature range.

CY25561
Tri-level Logic
With binary logic, four states can be programmed with two control lines, whereas tri-level logic can program nine logic states using
two control lines. Tri-level logic in CY25561 is implemented by defining a third logic state in addition to the standard logic “1” and “0”.
Pins 6 and 7 of CY25561 recognize a logic state by the voltage applied to the respective pin. These states are defined as “0” (low),
“M” (middle), and “1” (one). Each of these states has a defined voltage range that is interpreted by CY25561 as a “0,” “M,” or “1” logic
state. Refer to DC Electrical Characteristics on page 7 for voltage ranges for each logic state. CY25561 has two equal value resistors
connected internally to pin 6 and pin 7 that produce the default “M” state. Pins 6 and/or 7 can be tied directly to ground or VDD to
program a logic “0” or “1” state, respectively. Refer to Figure 2 for examples.

SSCG Theory of Operation
CY25561 is a PLL-type clock generator using a proprietary
Cypress design. By precisely controlling the bandwidth of the
output clock, CY25561 becomes a low-EMI clock generator. The
theory and detailed operation of CY25561 is discussed in the
following sections.
peak and cycle-to-cycle. CY25561 takes a narrow band digital
reference clock in the range of 50 to166 MHz and produces a
clock that sweeps between a controlled start and stop frequency
and precise rate of change. To understand what happens to a
clock when SSCG is applied, consider a 65 MHz clock with a 50
percent duty cycle, as shown in the following figure:
EMI
All digital clocks generate unwanted energy in their harmonics.
Conventional digital clocks are square waves with a duty cycle
that is very close to 50 percent. Because of this 50/50 duty cycle,
digital clocks generate most of their harmonic energy in odd
harmonics, that is; third, fifth, seventh, etc. The amount of energy
contained in the fundamental and odd harmonics can be reduced
by increasing the bandwidth of the fundamental clock frequency.
Conventional digital clocks have a very high Q factor; all the
energy at that frequency is concentrated in a very narrow
bandwidth, and consequently, higher energy peaks. Regulatory
agencies test electronic equipment by the amount of peak
energy radiated from the equipment. By reducing the peak
energy at the fundamental and harmonic frequencies, the
equipment under test is able to satisfy agency requirements for
EMI. Conventional methods of reducing EMI use shielding,
filtering, multilayer PCBs, etc. CY25561 uses the approach of
reducing the peak energy in the clock by increasing the clock
bandwidth, and lowering the Q.
SSCG
SSCG uses a patented technology of modulating the clock over
a very narrow bandwidth and controlled rate of change, both

VDD
CY25561
50 %
Clock frequency = fc = 65 MHz
Clock period = Tc =1/65 MHz = 15.4 ns
50 %
Tc = 15.4 ns
If this clock is applied to the Xin/CLK pin of CY25561, the output
clock at pin 4 (SSCLK) sweeps back and forth between two
frequencies. These two frequencies, F1 and F2, are used to
calculate total amount of spread or bandwidth applied to the
reference clock at pin 1. As the clock is making the transition from
F1 to F2, the amount of time and sweep waveform play a very
important role in the amount of EMI reduction realized from an
SSCG clock.
The modulation domain analyzer is used to visualize the sweep
waveform and sweep period. Figure 4 on page 6 shows the
modulation profile of a 65 MHz SSCG clock. Notice that the
actual sweep waveform is not a simple sine or sawtooth
waveform. Figure 4 on page 6 also shows a scan of the same
SSCG clock using a spectrum analyzer. In this scan, you can see
a 6.48 dB reduction in the peak RF energy when using the SSCG
clock.

CY25561
Modulation Rate
Spectrum spread clock generators use frequency modulation (FM) to distribute energy over a specific band of frequencies. The
maximum frequency of the clock (Fmax) and minimum frequency of the clock (Fmin) determine this band of frequencies. The time
required to transition from Fmin to Fmax and back to Fmin is the period of the modulation rate, Tmod. Modulation rates of SSCG
clocks are most commonly referred to in terms of frequency or Fmod = 1/Tmod.
The input clock frequency, Fin, and the internal divider count, Cdiv, determine the modulation rate. In some SSCG clock generators,
the selected range determines the internal divider count. In other SSCG clocks, the internal divider count is fixed over the operating
range of the part. CY25561 has a fixed divider count, as shown in Figure 3.

The schematic in Figure 4 above demonstrates how CY25561 is configured in a typical application. This application is using a 90 MHz
reference clock connected to pin 1. Because an external reference clock is used, pin 8 (XOUT) is left unconnected.
Figure 4 shows that pin 6 has no connection, which programs the logic “M” state, due to the internal resistor divider network of
CY25561. Programming a logic “0” state is as simple as connecting to logic ground, as shown on pin 7.
With this configuration, CY25561 produces an SSCG clock that is at a center frequency of 90 MHz. Referring to DC Electrical
Characteristics on page 7, range “M, 0” at 90 MHz generates a modulation profile that has a 3.1 percent peak-to-peak spread.
