The CDC921 is a clock synthesizer/driver that generates CPU, CPU_DIV2, 3V66, PCI, APIC, 48MHz, and REF
system clock signals to support computer systems with a single Pentium III class microprocessor.
All output frequencies are generated from a 14.318-MHz crystal input. Instead of a crystal, a reference clock
input can be provided at the XIN input. Two phase-locked loops (PLLs) are used to generate the host
frequencies and the 48-MHz clock frequency . On-chip loop filters and internal feedback eliminate the need for
external components.
The host and PCI clock outputs provide low-skew and low-jitter clock signals for reliable clock operation. All
outputs have 3-state capability, which can be selected via control inputs SEL0, SEL1, and SEL133/100
The 48MHz clock can be independently disabled via the control inputs SEL0, SEL1, and SEL133/100
state, the 48-MHz PLL is disabled and the 48MHz clock is driven to high impedance to reduce component jitter.
The outputs are either 3.3-V or 2.5-V single-ended CMOS buffers. With a logic high-level on the PWR_DWN
terminal, the device operates normally, but when a logical low-level input is applied, the device powers down
completely with the outputs in a low-level output state.

description (continued)
The CPU bus can operate at 100 MHz or 133 MHz. Output frequency selection is done with corresponding
setting for SEL133/100
Since the CDC921 is based on PLL circuitry, it requires a stabilization time to achieve phase lock of the PLL.
This stabilization time is required after power up or after changes to the SEL inputs are made. With use of an
external reference clock, this signal must be fixed-frequency and fixed-phase before the stabilization time starts.

spread spectrum clock (SSC) implementation for CDC921
Simultaneously switching at fixed frequency generates a significant power peak at the selected frequency,
which in turn will cause EMI disturbance to the environment. The purpose of the internal frequency modulation
of the CPU–PLL allows to distribute the energy to many different frequencies which reduces the power peak.
A typical characteristic for a single frequency spectrum and a frequency modulated spectrum is shown in
Figure 1.

The modulated spectrum has its distribution left hand to the single frequency spectrum which indicates a
“down-spread modulation”.
The peak reduction depends on the modulation scheme and modulation profile. System performance and timing
requirements are the limiting factors for actual design implementations. The implementation was driven to keep
the average clock frequency closed to its upper specification limit. The modulation amount was set to
approximately –0.5%.
In order to allow a downstream PLL to follow the frequency modulated signal, the bandwidth of the modulation
signal is limited in order to minimize SSC induced tracking skew jitter. The ideal modulation profile used for
CDC921 is shown in Figure 2.
