VIC64-AC datasheet by Cypress Semiconductor

VIC64-AC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the VIC64-AC?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the VIC64-AC is 100 MHz, but it can be overclocked up to 120 MHz with careful design and testing.
• How do I implement a clock domain crossing (CDC) in the VIC64-AC?
  To implement a CDC in the VIC64-AC, you need to use a synchronizer circuit or a FIFO-based CDC to ensure data integrity and prevent metastability issues. Cypress provides application notes and design guides to help with CDC implementation.
• What is the recommended power-up sequence for the VIC64-AC?
  The recommended power-up sequence for the VIC64-AC is to power up the core voltage (VCC) first, followed by the I/O voltage (VCCIO). This ensures that the internal voltage regulators are properly enabled and the device is configured correctly.
• How do I optimize the VIC64-AC for low power consumption?
  To optimize the VIC64-AC for low power consumption, use the power management features such as clock gating, voltage scaling, and dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS). Additionally, optimize the design to minimize switching activity, use low-power modes, and reduce leakage current.
• What is the maximum temperature range for the VIC64-AC?
  The maximum temperature range for the VIC64-AC is -40°C to 100°C (industrial grade) or -40°C to 85°C (commercial grade). However, the device can be operated at higher temperatures with derating, but this may affect its performance and reliability.
