Product Description
The ASM3P18S19B is a Versatile Spread Spectrum
Frequency Modulator designed specifically for input clock
frequencies from 20 to 40MHz. (Refer Input Frequency and
Modulation Rate Table). The ASM3P18S19B reduces
electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the clock source,
allowing system wide reduction of EMI of down stream
clock and data dependent signals. The ASM3P18S19B
Block Diagram
PD#
allows significant system cost savings by reducing the
number of circuit board layers, ferrite beads, shielding, and
other passive components that are traditionally required to
pass EMI regulations.
The ASM3P18S19B 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 results 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’.
The ASM3P18S19B uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation profile approved by the FCC and is
implemented in a proprietary all digital method.
Applications
The ASM3P18S19B is targeted towards EMI management
for memory and LVDS interfaces in mobile graphic chipsets
and high-speed digital applications such as PC peripheral
devices, consumer electronics, and embedded controller
systems.
