CY24239
Functional Description
I/O Pin Operation
Pins 2, 8, 9, 29, and 30 are dual-purpose l/O pins. Upon power-
up these pins act as logic inputs, allowing the determination of
assigned device functions. A short time after power-up, the
logic state of each pin is latched and the pins become clock
outputs. This feature reduces device pin count by combining
clock outputs with input select pins.
An external 10-kΩ “strapping” resistor is connected between
the l/O pin and ground or V_DD. Connection to ground sets a
latch to “0,” connection to V_DD sets a latch to “1.” Figure 1 and
Figure 2 show two suggested methods for strapping resistor
connections.
Upon CY24239 power-up, the first 2 ms of operation is used
for input logic selection. During this period, the five I/O pins (2,
8, 9, 29, 30) are three-stated, allowing the output strapping
resistor on the l/O pins to pull the pins and their associated
capacitive clock load to either a logic HIGH or LOW state. At
the end of the 2-ms period, the established logic “0” or “1”
condition of the l/O pin is latched. Next the output buffer is
enabled, converting the l/O pins into operating clock outputs.
The 2-ms timer starts when V_DD reaches 2.0V. The input bits
can only be reset by turning V_DD off and then back on again.
It should be noted that the strapping resistors have no signifi-
cant effect on clock output signal integrity. The drive imped-
ance of clock output (<40Ω, nominal), which is minimally af-
fected by the 10-kΩ strap to ground or V_DD. As with the series
termination resistor, the output strapping resistor should be
placed as close to the l/O pin as possible in order to keep the
interconnecting trace short. The trace from the resistor to
ground or V_DD should be kept less than two inches in length to
prevent system noise coupling during input logic sampling.
When the clock outputs are enabled following the 2-ms input
period, the specified output frequency is delivered on the pin,
assuming that V_DD has stabilized. If V_DD has not yet reached
full value, output frequency initially may be below target but will
increase to target once V_DD voltage has stabilized. In either
case, a short output clock cycle may be produced from the
CPU clock outputs when the outputs are enabled.
