Overview
The W155 incorporates the latest advances in PLL-based
spread spectrum frequency synthesizer technology. By frequency modulating the SYSCLK output with a low-frequency
carrier, peak EMI can be great ly reduced in a system. Use of
this technique all ows systems to pass inc reasingly difficu lt EMI
testing without resorting to costly shielding or redesi gn.
In a system that uses t he W155, not only is EMI reduce d in the
various clock lines, but also in all signals which are synchronized to SYSCLK. Therefore, the benefits of using this technique increase with the number of address and data lines in
the system.
The W1 55 is spe cif ically tar get ed towa rd MI PS micr opr oces sor based systems where EMI is of particular concern. Each
device uses a single 14. 318- MHz crystal to gen erate a selectable spread spectrum output and an unmodulated 48-MHz
USB Output.
The spreading func ti on can be disabled b y taking the SSON#
pin high. Spread percent age can be selected with the SS%
input (see
Table 2
below ).

Functional Description
I/O Pin Operation
Pin 14 is a dual purpose l/O pin.
Upon power-up eac h I/O pin acts as a logi c input, allo wing th e
determination of assigned device functions . A short time after
power-up, the logic state of each pin is latched and each pin
then becomes a clock output. This feature reduces device pin
count by combining clock outputs with input select pi ns.
An external 10-kΩ “strapping” resistor is connected between
each l/O pin and ground or V

Upon W155 power -up, the first 2 ms of operation is used for
input log ic selec tion. During this period, each clock output b uffer is three-stated, allowing the output strapping resistor on
each l/O pin to pull the pin and its associated capaciti ve clock
load to either a logic HIGH or LOW state. At the end of the
2-ms period, the established logic 0 or 1 conditi on of each l/O
pin is then latched . Next the output b uffer is ena bled conv erting
all l/O pins into operating clock outputs. The 2-ms timer starts
when V

reaches 2.0V. The input bits can only be reset by

It should be noted that the strapping resistors have no significant effect on clock output signal integrity. The drive impedance of the clock out puts is <40Ω (nominal) which i s m inimal ly

Clock Outputs
All clock outputs are designed t o driv e serial terminated clock
lines. The device outputs are CMOS-type which provide
rail-to-r ail output swing.
Crystal Oscillator
The device requi res one input refere nce clock t o synthesiz e all
output frequencies. The reference clock can be either an externally generated clock signal or the clock generat ed by the
internal crystal oscil lator. When using an e x ternal c loc k s ignal ,
pin X1 is used as the clock input and pin X2 is left open. The
input threshold voltage of pin X1 is (V

The internal crystal oscillator is used in conjunction with a
quartz crystal connected t o de vi ce pins X 1 and X2 . Th is f orms
a parallel resonant crystal oscillator circuit. The device incorporates the necessary feedback resistor and crystal load capacitors. Including typical stray circuit capacitance, the total
load presented to the crystal is approximately 20 pF. For optimum frequency accuracy without the addition of exter nal capacitors, a parallel-r esonant mode crystal specifying a load of
20 pF sh ould be use d. This will t ypically y ield referenc e frequency accuraci es within ±100 ppm. To achieve similar accuracies with a crystal calling for a greater load, external capacitors must be added such t hat the to tal l oad (in ternal, e xt ernal,
and parasitic capacitors) equals t hat called for by the crystal.

Spread Spectrum Frequency Tim ing G enera to r
The device gener ates a clock that is frequency modulated in
order to increase the bandwidth that it occu pies. By increas ing
the bandwidth of the fundamental and its harmonics, the amplitudes of the radiated electromagnetic emissions are reduced. This effect is depicted in Figure 2.
As shown in Figure 2, a harmonic of a modulated clock has a
much low er amplitu de than that of an un modulated si gnal. The
reduction in amplitude is dependent on the harmonic number
and the frequency deviation or spread. The equation for the
reduction is
dB = 6.5 + 9*log
(P) + 9*log10(F)

The output clock is modulated with a waveform depicted in
Figure 3. This waveform , as discussed in “Spread Spectrum
Clock Generation f or the Reducti on of Radiated Emissio ns” by
Bush, Fessler, and Hardin produces the maximum reduction
in the amplitude of radiated electromagnetic emissions. The
