Functional Description
The CY2278A is a Clock Synthesizer/Driver chip for Pentium,
or Pentium II portable PCs designed with the 82430TX or sim-
ilar core-logic chipsets. There are four options available as
shown in the selector guide.
The CY2278A outputs seven CPU clocks, three of which run
at 3.3V and four run at either 2.5V or 3.3V, depending on the
voltage applied on pin 42. There are ten PCI clocks, running
at one half the CPU clock frequency. Free-running PCI and
CPU clocks are available as options shown in the selector
guide. Additionally, the part outputs two 3.3V USB/IR clocks at
48 MHz, one Keyboard clock at 8 MHz, one 2.5V IOAPIC clock
at 14.318 MHz, and two 3.3V reference clocks at 14.318 MHz.
The CY2278 family contains several features for output flexi-
bility and power control. The CPU, PCI, USB and IR clock fre-
quencies are all factory EPROM-programmable. Three hard-
ware select inputs support eight CPU clock frequencies from
20 – 75 MHz. Additionally, each of the CPU, PCI, and USB/IR
clock sets can be turned on or off with a dedicated enable input
pin for power management.
The CY2278A outputs are designed for low EMI emissions.
Controlled rise and fall times, unique output driver circuits and
factory-EPROM programmable output drive and slew-rate en-
able optimal configurations for EMI control.
