Product Description
The P1819 is a versatile spread spectrum frequency
modulator designed specifically for input clock frequencies
from 20 to 40MHz. Refer Input Frequency and Modulation
Rate
Table.
The
P1819
reduces
electromagnetic
interference (EMI) at the clock source, allowing system
wide reduction of EMI of
down stream clock and data
dependent signals. The P1819 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 P1819 modulates the output of a single PLL in order to
“spread” 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’s bandwidth is called ‘spread
spectrum clock generation’.
The
P1819
uses
the
most
efficient
and
optimized
modulation
profile
approved
by
the
FCC
and
is
implemented in a proprietary all digital method.
Applications
The P1819 is targeted towards EMI management for
memory and LVDS interfacesin mobile graphic chipsets
and high-speed digital applications such as PC peripheral
devices, consumer electronics, and embedded controller
systems.
