PLL Startup cycles

Earlier your SRAM spec indicated that the PLL Lock time was a minimum of 1024 cycles

   

Now I find that the 65nm products have changed this to 20us.

   

what if I have an existing design that uses 1024 cycles ?

   

What about backward compatibility?

Bits,

   

 

   

That's a really good question!

   

 

   

You can still use 1024 cycles as a minimum PLL Lock time for our 65 nm products.

   

In this specification, Cypress surpasses the QDR consortium specification for PLL lock time (tKC lock) of 20 µs (min. spec.) and will lock after 1024 clock cycles (min. spec.), after a stable clock is presented, per the previous 90 nm version. 

   

But in the future higher speed designs, it won't be the same as 1024 clock cycles or 20 uS.

   

 

   

Thanks,
