PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The P18XX is a versatile spread spectrum
frequency modulator designed specifically for a
wide range of input clock frequencies from 10
MHz to 170 MHz (see Table 1.1). The P18XX can
generate an EMI reduced clock from crystal,
ceramic resonator, or system clock. The P18XX-A
to -H offers various combinations of spread
options and percentage deviations (see Table
1.2). These combinations include Down Spread,
Center Spread and percentage deviation range
from +/-0.625% to -3.50%.
The P18XX reduces electromagnetic interference
(EMI) at the clock source, allowing a system wide
EMI reduction for all the down stream clocks and
data dependent signals.
The P18XX 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 P18XX modulates the output of a single PLL
in order to “spread” the bandwidth of a
synthesized clock, thereby decreasing 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 clock generators. Lowering EMI by
increasing a signal’s bandwidth is called “spread
spectrum clock generation”.
The P18XX uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation profile approved by the FCC and is
implemented by using a proprietary all-digital
method.
APPLICATIONS
The P18XX 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.

EMC SOFTWARE SIMULATION
By using PulseCore’s proprietary EMC simulation software –
EMI-lator
®
, radiated system level EMI analysis
can be made easier, allowing a quantitative measure on the benefits of PulseCore’s EMI reduction products.
The simulation engine of this EMC software has already been characterized to correlate with the electrical
characteristics of PulseCore EMI reduction IC’s.
Figure 3
below is an example of the simulation result.
