ASM3P1819N
The ASM3P1819N 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 ASM3P1819N 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 ASM3P1819N modulates the output of a single PLL in
order to “spread” the bandwidth of a synthesized clock,
thereby decreasing the peak amplitude of its harmonics.
This result 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 ASM3P1819N
uses the most efficient and optimized modulation profile
approved by the FCC and is implemented by using a
proprietary all digital method
Applications
The ASM3P1819N is targeted towards EMI management
Functional Description
The
ASM3P1819N
is
a
versatile
spread
spectrum
frequency modulator designed specifically for a wide range
of input clock frequencies from 20 to 40MHz. The
ASM3P1819N can generate an EMI reduced clock from
crystal, ceramic resonator, or system clock.
for memory and LVDS interfaces in mobile graphic chipsets
and high-speed digital applications such as PC peripheral
devices, consumer electronics and embedded controller
system.
