ASM3P2183A
The ASM3P2183A reduces electromagnetic interference
(EMI) at the clock source, allowing system wide reduction
of EMI of
down stream clock and data dependent
signals. The ASM3P2183A allows significant system cost
savings by reducing the number of circuit board layers
ferrite beads, shielding and other passive components
that are traditionally required to pass EMI regulations.
The ASM3P2183A uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation profile approved by the FCC and is
implemented in a proprietary all digital method.
The ASM3P2183A 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 results 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 ASM3P2183A is a versatile spread spectrum
frequency modulators designed specifically for a wide
range of input clock frequencies from 6MHz to 90MHz.
(Refer Input Frequency and Modulation Rate Table).
The
ASM3P2183A can generate an EMI reduced clock from
an OSC or a system generated clock. The ASM3P2183A
offers a Down Spread clock with a percentage deviation
of -1.25% and a Center Spread clock with a percentage
deviation of ± 0.42%.
Applications
The ASM3P2183A is targeted towards EMI management
for memory and LVDS interfaces in mobile graphic
chipsets and high-speed digital applications such as PC
peripheral devices, consumer electronics, and embedded
controller systems.
