The CY29775AI is a PLL-based clock driver from Cypress, part of the Spread Aware™ family. It functions as both a fanout distribution buffer and a zero delay buffer, taking a single LVCMOS input and distributing it across 14 outputs with controlled skew. The integrated PLL can be bypassed, letting you switch between zero-delay synthesis and simple fanout modes without a board change. The 52-TQFP package (10x10 mm) keeps the footprint compact for dense backplane designs.
The Spread Aware™ PLL tracks spread-spectrum clock inputs without losing lock. This preserves EMI reduction at the board level.
2:14 fanout — routing for a 14-load clock tree
The 2:14 input-to-output ratio provides two input pins and 14 LVCMOS outputs. All outputs share one PLL, so output-to-output skew is deterministic.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
RoHS non-compliant — this part uses lead-bearing solder terminals. If your assembly line requires Pb-free reflow, verify your exemption or plan for a hand-solder / selective-solder step. No direct RoHS-compliant equivalent is listed in the family, so a cross-ship with a lead-free clock buffer may require a different footprint.
