eight-pin version and accepts one reference input and
drives out one low-skew clock.
All parts have on-chip PLLs that lock to an input clock on
the REF pin. The PLL feedback is on-chip and is obtained
from the CLKOUT pad, internal to the device.
Multiple ASM3P622S01B/J devices can accept the same
input clock and distribute it. In this case, the skew between
the outputs of the two devices is guaranteed to be less than
700pS.
The output has less than 200pS of cycle-to-cycle jitter. The
input and output propagation delay is guaranteed to be less
than 250pS, and the output-to-output skew is guaranteed to
be less than 250pS.

Spread Spectrum Frequency Generation
The clocks in digital systems are typically square waves
with a 50% duty cycle and as frequencies increase the
edge rates also get faster. Analysis shows that a square
wave is composed of fundamental frequency and
harmonics. The fundamental frequency and harmonics
generate the energy peaks that become the source of
EMI. Regulatory agencies test electronic equipment by
measuring the amount of peak energy radiated from the
equipment. In fact, the peak level allowed decreases as
the frequency increases. The standard methods of
reducing EMI are to use shielding, filtering, multi-layer
ASM3P622S01B/J
PCBs etc. These methods are expensive. Spread
spectrum clocking reduces the peak energy by reducing
the Q factor of the clock. This is done by slowly
modulating the clock frequency. The ASM3P622S01B/J
uses the center modulation spread spectrum technique in
which the modulated output frequency varies above and
below
the
reference
frequency
with
a
specified
modulation rate. With center modulation, the average
frequency is the same as the unmodulated frequency and
there is no performance degradation.
Timing-Safe™ technology
Timing-Safe™ technology is the ability to modulate a
clock source with Spread Spectrum technology and
maintain synchronization with any associated data path.
