FailSafe Function
The CY23FS04 is targeted at clock distribution applications
that could or which currently require continued operation
should the main reference clock fail. Existing approaches to
this requirement have utilized multiple reference clocks with
either internal or external methods for switching between
references. The problem with this technique is that it leads to
interruptions (or glitches) when transitioning from one
reference to another, often requiring complex external circuitry
or software to maintain system stability. The technique imple-
mented in this design completely eliminates any switching of
references to the PLL, greatly simplifying system design.
The CY23FS04 PLL is driven by the crystal oscillator, which is
phase-aligned to an external reference clock so that the output
of the device is effectively phase-aligned to reference via the
external feedback loop. This is accomplished by utilizing a
digitally controlled capacitor array to pull the crystal frequency
over an approximate range of +300 ppm from its nominal
frequency.
Notes:
1. For normal operation, connect either one of the four clock outputs to the FBK input.
2. Weak pull-downs on all outputs
3. Weak pull-ups on these inputs.
4. Weak pull-down on these inputs.
