which provides system wide reduction of EMI of all clock
dependent signals. The P2041A allows significant system
cost savings by reducing the number of circuit board layers
and shielding that are traditionally required to pass EMI
regulations.
The P2041A uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation
profile
approved
by
the
FCC
and
is
implemented in a proprietary all-digital method.
The P2041A modulates the output of a single PLL in order
to “spread” the bandwidth of a synthesized clock and, more
importantly,
decreases
the
peak
amplitudes
of
its
harmonics. This result in significantly lower system EMI
compared to the typical narrow band signal produced by
oscillators and most frequency generators. Lowering EMI
by increasing a signal’s bandwidth is called “spread
spectrum clock generation”.
Product Description
The P2041A is a selectable spread spectrum frequency
modulator designed specifically for PC peripheral and
embedded controller markets. The
P2041A reduces
electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the clock source
Applications
The P2041A is targeted towards the embedded controller
market and PC peripheral markets including scanners,
MFP’s, printers, PDA, IA , and GPS devices.

Spread spectrum selection
P2041A
Table 1 illustrates the possible spread spectrum options. The optimal setting should minimize system EMI to the fullest
without affecting system performance. The spreading is described as a percentage deviation of the center frequency
( Note: the center frequency is the frequency of the external reference input on XIN/CLK, Pin 1).
Example of a typical printer or scanner application that operates on a clock frequency of 40MHz:
A spreading selection of SR1=1 and SR0=1 provides a percentage deviation of +/-1.00%* (see Table 1) of Center
Frequency. This results in the frequency on ModOUT being swept from 40.40MHz to 39.60MHz at a modulation rate of
(40/40)*34.72 = 34.72KHz (see Table 1). This particular example (see Figure below) given here is a common EMI reduction
method for scanners and has already been implemented by most of the leading manufacturers.
NOTE:
Spreading range selection varies from different system manufacturers and their designs. The spreading range of P2041A can be set to +/-2.5% when
working with certain scanner model.
