Product Description
The ASM3P2190A is a versatile spread spectrum
frequency modulator designed specifically for a
wide range of clock frequencies. The
ASM3P2190A
reduces
electromagnetic
interference (EMI) at the clock source, allowing
system wide reduction of EMI of down stream
clock and data dependent signals. The
ASM3P2190A allows significant system cost
savings by reducing the number of circuit board
layers and shielding that are traditionally required
to pass EMI regulations.
The ASM3P2190A modulates the output of a
single PLL in order to “spread” the bandwidth of a
synthesized clock, thereby decreasing 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 clock generators. Lowering
EMI by increasing a signal’s bandwidth is called
spread spectrum clock generation.
The ASM3P2190A uses the most efficient and
optimized modulation profile approved by the
FCC and is implemented by using a proprietary
all-digital method.

Description
Crystal connection or external reference frequency input. This pin has
dual functions. It can be connected to either an external crystal or an
external reference clock.
Crystal connection. Connection for an external crystal. If using an
external reference, this pin must be left unconnected.
Ground to entire chip.
Modulation width selection. When spread spectrum feature is turned
on, this pin is used to select the amount of variation and peak EMI
reduction that is desired on the output signal. Internal pull-up resistor.
Output modulated frequency. Copy of the un-modulated input clock.
Power supply for the entire chip (3.3V).
Frequency selection bit 1. This pin selects the frequency range of
operation. (Refer
to the Frequency Range Selection Table).
This pin
has an internal pull-up resistor.
No connect.
