shielding that are required to pass EMI regulations. The
ASM3P2853A modulates the output of 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.
Modulation rate: 39 KHz.
Spread Spectrum ON/OFF control
Supply voltage range 2.5V ± 5%.
Available in 8-pin SOIC package.
Commercial Temperature range.
Applications
ASM3P2853A is targeted towards EMI management for
high speed digital applications such as PC peripheral
devices, consumer electronics and embedded controller
systems.
Product Description
The ASM3P2853A is a versatile spread spectrum
frequency
modulator.
The
ASM3P2853A
reduces
electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the clock source.
The ASM3P2853A allows significant system cost savings
by reducing the number of circuit board layers and

Description
Connection to crystal or external reference frequency input. This pin has dual
functions. It can be connected either to an external crystal or an external
reference clock.
Connection to crystal. If using an external reference clock, this pin must be left
unconnected.
Power supply for the analog and digital blocks
Ground to entire chip.
Power-down control pin. Pull low to enable the power-down mode. Connect to
VDD, if not used.
Digital logic input used to enable spread spectrum function (Active LOW).
Spread spectrum is enabled when LOW, disabled when HIGH.
Clock output -1 (48 MHz unmodulated)
Clock output -2 (50 MHz modulated)
