ASM3P2762A
The ASM3P2762A uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation profile approved by the FCC and is
implemented by using a proprietary all digital method.
The ASM3P2762A modulates the output of a single PLL
in order to 鈥渟pread鈥?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鈥檚 bandwidth is called 鈥榮pread
spectrum clock generation鈥?
Applications
The ASM3P2762A is targeted towards all portable
devices with very low power requirements like MP3
players and digital still cameras.
Product Description
The ASM3P2762A is a versatile spread spectrum
frequency modulator designed specifically for a wide
range of clock frequencies. The ASM3P2762A reduces
electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the clock source,
allowing system wide reduction of EMI of
all clock
dependent signals. The ASM3P2762A allows significant
system cost savings by reducing the number of circuit
board layers ferrite beads, shielding that are traditionally
required to pass EMI regulations.
