The ASM3P5811B reduces electromagnetic interference
(EMI) at the clock source, allowing system wide reduction
of EMI of
down stream clock and data dependent
signals. The ASM3P5811B 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 ASM3P5811B uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation profile approved by the FCC and is
implemented in a proprietary all digital method.
The ASM3P5811B 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’.
Products are available for industrial temperature
Product Description
The ASM3P5811B is a versatile spread spectrum
frequency modulator designed specifically for input clock
frequencies in the range of 10MHz - 20MHz. The
ASM3P5811B can generate an EMI reduced clock from
crystal,
ceramic
resonator,
or
system
clock.
The
Applications
The ASM3P5811B is targeted towards EMI management
for high speed digital applications such as PC peripheral
devices, consumer electronics and embedded controller
systems.
ASM3P5811B offers a percentage deviation of –2.5%.
