SL15300
General Description
The primary source of EMI from digital circuits is the
system clock and all the other synchronous clocks and
control signals derived from the system clock. The well
know techniques of filtering (suppression) and shielding
(containment), while effective, can cost money, board
space and longer development time.
A more effective and efficient technique to reduce EMI is
Spread Spectrum Clock Generator (SSCG) technique.
Instead of using constant clock frequency, the SSCG
technique modulates (spreads) the system clock with a
much smaller frequency, to reduce EMI emissions at its
source: The System Clock.
The SL15300 is designed using SpectraLinear
proprietary programmable
EProClock™
phase-locked
loop (PLL) and Spread Spectrum Technologies (SST) to
synthesize and modulate (spread) the system clock such
that the energy is spread out over a wider bandwidth.
This reduces the peak value of the radiated emissions at
the fundamental and the harmonics. This reduction in
radiated energy can significantly reduce the cost of
complying with regulatory agency requirements and
improve time-to-market without degrading system perfor-
mance.
The SL15300 operates from 3.3V to 2.5V power supply
range. Refer to SL15L101 for 1.8V power supply
operation.
The SL15300 is available in 8-pin TSSOP package with
Commercial Temperature range of 0 to 70°C and
Industrial Temperature range of –40 to 85°C.
Input Frequency Range
The input frequency range is from 8.0 to 48.0 MHz for
crystals and ceramic resonators. If an external clock is
used, the input frequency range is from 8 to 166 MHz.
Output Frequency Range and Outputs
Up to four (4) outputs can be programmed as SSCLK or
REFCLK. SSCLK output can be synthesized to any value
from 3 to 200 MHz with spread based on valid input
frequency. The spread at SSCLK pins can be stopped by
SSON# input control pin, If SSON# pin is HIGH (VDD),
the frequency at this pin is the synthesized to the
nominal value of the input frequency and there is no
spread.
REFOUT is the buffered output of the oscillator and is
the same frequency as the input frequency without
spread. However, REFOUT value can also be divided by
using the output dividers from 2 to 32. The SSCLK is the
programmed and synthesized value of the input clock.
The remaining SSCLKs could be the same value
providing fanout of up to 4 or the frequency can be
divided from also 2 to 32. In this case, the spread %
value is the same as the original programmed spread %
value. By using only first order crystals, SL15300 can
synthesize output frequency up to 200 MHz, eliminating
the need for higher order Crystals (Xtals) and Crystal
Oscillators (XOs). This reduces the cost while improving
the system clock accuracy, performance and reliability.

Programmable CL (Crystal Load)
The SL15300 provides programmable on-chip capacitors
at XIN/CLKIN (Pin-3) and XOUT (Pin-2). The resolution of
this programmable capacitor is 6-bits with LSB value of
0.5pF. When all bits are off the pin capacitance is
CXIN=CXOUT =7pF (minimum value). When all bits are
on the pin capacitance is CXIN=CXOUT=38pF (maximum
value). The values of C
XIN
and C
XOUT
based on the C
L
(Crystal Load Capacitor) can be calculated as:

=C
XOUT
=2C

PCB
. Refer to the Page-13 for
additional information on crystal load (C
L
).
In addition, if an external clock is used, the capacitance at
Pin-3 (CLKIN) can programmed to control the edge rate of
this input clock, providing additional EMI control.
Programmable Modulation Frequency
The Spread Spectrum Clock (SSC) modulation default
value is 31.5 kHz. The higher values of up to 120 kHz can
also be programmed. Less than 25 kHz modulation
frequency is not recommended to stay out of the range
audio frequency bandwidth since this frequency could be
detected as a noise by the audio receivers within the
vicinity.
Programmable Spread Percent (%)
The spread percent (%) value is programmable from +/-
0.25% to +/-2.5% (center spread) or -0.5% to -5.0%
(down spread) for all SSCLK frequencies. It is possible to
program smaller or larger non-standard values of spread
percent. Contact SLI if these non-standard spread percent
values are required in the application.
SSON# or Function Select (FS)
The SL15300 Pin-8 can also be programmed as either
SSON# to enable or disable the programmed spread
percent value or as Function Select (FS). If SSON# is
used, when this pin is pulled high (VDD), the spread is
stopped and the frequency is the nominal value without
spread. If low (GND), the frequency is the nominal value
with the spread.
If FS function is used, the output pins can be programmed
for different set of frequencies or spread % as selected by
FS. SSCLK value can be any frequency from 3 to
200MHz, but the spread % is the same percent value.
REFOUT is the same frequency as the input reference
clock or divide by from 2 to 32 without spread. The set of
frequencies in Table 1 is given as en example, using
48MHz crystal.
The SL15300 also allows a fan-out of up to 4, meaning
that Pins 4, 6, 7 and 8 can be programmed to the same
frequencies with or without spread.
