Application Information

Clock traces must be terminated with either series or parallel termination, as is normally done.

Application Circuit

Summary

this crystal should be as specified in the data sheet. Optional trimming capacitors may be needed if a crystal with a different

• Surface mount, low-ESR, ceramic capacitors should be used for filtering. Typically, these capacitors have a value of 0.1 F.

In some cases, smaller value capacitors may be required.

• The value of the series terminating resistor satisfies the following equation, where Rtrace is the loaded characteristic

impedance of the trace, Rout is the output impedance of the clock generator (specified in the data sheet), and Rseries is the

series terminating resistor.

Rseries > Rtrace – Rout

• Footprints must be laid out for optional EMI-reducing capacitors, which should be placed as close to the terminating resistor

as is physically possible. Typical values of these capacitors range from 4.7 pF to 22 pF.

impedance at the clock frequency, under loaded DC conditions. Please refer to the application note “Layout

and Termination Techniques for Cypress Clock Generators” for more details.

• If a Ferrite Bead is used, a 10 F–22 F tantalum bypass capacitor should be placed close to the Ferrite Bead. This capacitor

prevents power supply droop during current surges.
