Input frequency range: 20MHz - 50MHz
Zero input - output propagation delay
Low-skew outputs

Output-output skew less than 250pS
Device-device skew less than 700pS
ASM3P623S00B/C/J is the eight-pin version and accepts
one reference input and drives out one low-skew clock.
All parts have on-chip PLLs that lock to an input clock on
the CLKIN pin. The PLL feedback is on-chip and is
obtained from the CLKOUT pad, internal to the device.
Multiple ASM3P623S00E/F/K devices can accept the same
input clock and distribute it. In this case, the skew between
the outputs of the two devices is guaranteed to be less than
700pS.
All outputs have less than 200pS of cycle-to-cycle jitter.
The input and output propagation delay is guaranteed to be
less than 250pS, and the output-to-output skew is
guaranteed to be less than 250pS.

Spread Spectrum Frequency Generation
The clocks in digital systems are typically square waves
with a 50% duty cycle and as frequencies increase the
edge rates also get faster. Analysis shows that a square
wave is composed of fundamental frequency and
harmonics. The fundamental frequency and harmonics
generate the energy peaks that become the source of
EMI. Regulatory agencies test electronic equipment by
measuring the amount of peak energy radiated from the
equipment. In fact, the peak level allowed decreases as
the frequency increases. The standard methods of
reducing EMI are to use shielding, filtering, multi-layer
ASM3P623S00B/C/J/E/F/K
PCBs etc. These methods are expensive. Spread
spectrum clocking reduces the peak energy by reducing
the Q factor of the clock. This is done by slowly
modulating
the
clock
frequency.
The
ASM3P623S00B/C/J/E/F/K uses the center modulation
spread spectrum technique in which the modulated
output frequency varies above and below the reference
frequency with a specified modulation rate. With center
modulation, the average frequency is the same as the
unmodulated frequency and there is no performance
degradation
Timing-Safe™ technology
Timing-Safe™ technology is the ability to modulate a
clock source with Spread Spectrum technology and
maintain synchronization with any associated data path.
