DESCRIPTION
The principal cause of EMI problems is the system
clock. Therefore, rather than patch the problem
with ferrite beads, filters, ground planes and
metal shielding the most efficient and economic
method of EMI reduction is to use a low EMI clock
oscillator.
Compared with conventional clock oscillators
3EQHM44R series Spread Spectrum (Dithered)
Oscillators can reduce RMI by as much as 12dB.
The part is a 'drop-in' replacement for a standard
11.4 x 9.6mm SMD clock oscillator hence there is
no requirement to re-design existing PCBs.
EQHM42R series low EMI oscillators can reduce system EMI by 12dB.
The oscillators are a ‘drop-in’ replacement for standard oscillators.
EMI reduction is achieved by the use of Spread Spectrum Technology
whereby the mode energy is spread over a wider bandwidth. The
modulation carrier frequency in the kHz region makes the process
transparent to the oscillator frequency. There is a choice of
modulation rates and spread.
SPREAD SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY
Unlike a conventional clock oscillator, in a Spread Spectrum Clock
Oscillator the mode energy is spread over a wider bandwidth. This is
achieved resulting from the frequency modulation technique. The
controlled modulation process may be on all on one side of the
nominal frequency (known as
DOWN SPREAD,)
or spread equally
either side of nominal (CENTRE
SPREAD).
Down Spread is preferred
is over-clocking would be a problem to the system.
