Product Description
The ASM3P2863A is a versatile spread spectrum
frequency modulator designed specifically for a wide
range of clock frequencies. The ASM3P2863A reduces
electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the clock source,
allowing system wide reduction of EMI of all clock
dependent signals. The ASM3P2863A allows significant
system cost savings by reducing the number of circuit
board layers, ferrite beads and shielding that are
traditionally required to pass EMI regulations.
Block Diagram
VDD
The ASM3P2863A uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation profile approved by the FCC and is
implemented by using a proprietary all digital method.
The ASM3P2863A 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 result 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.’
Applications
The ASM3P2863A is targeted towards all portable
devices with very low power requirements like MP3
players, Notebooks and Digital still cameras.
