Overview

The W180 products are one series of devices in the Cypress
PREMIS family. The PREMIS family incorporates the latest
advanc es in PLL spread spectrum frequency synthesizer t ech­niques. By frequency modulating the output with a low-fre­quency carrier, peak EMI is greatl y reduced. Use of this tech­nology allows s ystems to pass increasingl y diff icult EMI testin g
without resorting to costly shielding or redesign.

In a system, not only i s EMI reduce d in the v arious cl oc k li nes,
but also in all signals which are synchronized to the clock.
Therefore, the benefits of using this technology increase with
the number of address and dat a lines in the syst em. The Sim­plified Block Diagram on page 1 shows a simple implementa­tion.

Functional Description

The W180 uses a phase-locked loop (PLL) to frequency mod­ulate an input clock. The result is an output clock whose fre­quency is slo w ly swep t over a narrow band near the i nput sig­nal. The basic circuit topology is shown in Figur e 1. The i nput
refer ence signa l is div ided b y Q and f e d to the phase detector.
A signal from the VCO is divided by P and fed back to the
phase detector also. The PLL will force the frequency of the
VCO output signal to change until the divided output signal
and the divided reference signal match at the phase detector

input. The output frequency is then equal to the ratio of P/Q
times the ref er ence fre quenc y. (Note: F or t he W180 t he outpu t
frequency is eq ual to the input frequency.) Th e unique feature
of the Spread Spect rum Fr equ ency Timi ng Gener ator is that a
modulating wa vef orm is supe rimposed at t he input to the VCO .
This causes the VCO output to be slowly swept across a pre­determined frequency ban d.

Because the modulating frequency is typically 1000 times
slower than the fundamental clock, the spread spectrum pro­cess has little impact on system performance.

Frequency Selection With SSFTG

In Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing Generation, EMI re­duction depends on the shape, modulation percentage, and
frequency of the modulating waveform. While the shape and
frequency of the modulating waveform are fixed for a given
frequency, the modulation percentage may be va ried .

Using frequency s elect bits (FS2:1 pins), the frequency range
can be set (see Table 2). Spread ing percentage is set with pin
SS% as shown in Table 1.

A larger spreading per centage improves EMI reduction. How­ever, large spread percentages may either exceed system
maximum frequ ency ra tings o r lo wer the a v er age fr equency t o
a point where performance is affected. For these reasons,
spreading percentages options are provided.

Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing
Generation

The device generates 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 amplitude t han 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

10

(P) + 9*log10(F)

Where P is the perce ntag e of de viati on an d F is the frequency
in MHz where the reduction is measured.

The output clock is modulated with a waveform depicted in
Figure 3. This waveform, as discussed in “Spread Spectrum
Clock Gener ation f or the Redu ct ion of Radiat ed Emiss ions” by
Bush, Fessler, and Hardin produces the maximum reduction
in the amplitude of radiat ed electro magnetic emis sions. Figure
3 details the Cypress spreading pattern. Cypress does offer
options with more spread and gr eater EMI reduction. Cont act

Application Information

Recommended Circui t Configuration

For optimum performance in system applications the power
supply decoupli ng scheme sho wn in Figure 4 should be used .

V

DD

decoupling is important to both reduce phase jitter and
EMI radiation. The 0.1-µF decoupling capacitor should be
placed as close to the V

DD

pin as possible, otherwise the in-

creased trace inductance will negate its decoupling capability.
The 10-µF decoupling capacitor shown should be a tantalum
type. For further EMI protection, the V

DD

connection can be

made via a ferrite bead, as shown.
