Pin Description
Output Modulated Frequency:
Frequency modulated copy of the un-
modulated input clock (SSON# asserted).
Crystal Connection or External Reference Frequency Input:
This
pin has dual functions. It may either be connected to an external crystal,
or to an external reference clock.
Crystal Connection:
If using an external reference, this pin must be left
unconnected.
Spread Spectrum Control (Active LOW):
Asserting this signal (active
LOW) turns the internal modulation waveform on. This pin has an inter-
nal pull-down resistor.
Frequency Selection Bit(s) 1 and 2:
These pins select the frequency
range of operation. Refer to
Table 2.
These pins have internal pull-up
resistors.
Modulation Width Selection:
When Spread Spectrum feature is turned
on, this pin is used to select the amount of variation and peak EMI
reduction that is desired on the output signal. This pin has an internal
pull-up resistor.

Connected to 3.3V or 5V power supply.
Ground Connection:
Connect all ground pins to the common system
ground plane.

W181I
Overview
The W181I products are one series of devices in the Cypress
PREMIS family. The PREMIS family incorporates the latest
advances in PLL spread spectrum frequency synthesizer tech-
niques. By frequency modulating the output with a low-
frequency carrier, peak EMI is greatly reduced. Use of this
technology allows systems to pass increasingly difficult EMI
testing without resorting to costly shielding or redesign.
In a system, not only is EMI reduced in the various clock lines,
but also in all signals which are synchronized to the clock.
Therefore, the benefits of using this technology increase with
the number of address and data lines in the system. The Sim-
plified Block Diagram on page 1 shows a simple implementa-
tion.
times the reference frequency. (Note: For the W181I the output
frequency is equal to the input frequency.) The unique feature
of the Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing Generator is that a
modulating waveform is superimposed at the input to the VCO.
This causes the VCO output to be slowly swept across a pre-
determined frequency band.
Because the modulating frequency is typically 1000 times
slower than the fundamental clock, the spread spectrum pro-
cess has little impact on system performance.
Frequency Selection With SSFTG
In Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing Generation, EMI re-
duction depends on the shape, modulation percentage, and
frequency of the modulating waveform. While the shape and
frequency of the modulating waveform are fixed for a given
frequency, the modulation percentage may be varied.
Using frequency select bits (FS1:2 pins), the frequency range
can be set. Spreading percentage is set to be 1.25% or 3.75%
(see
Table 1).
A larger spreading percentage improves EMI reduction. How-
ever, large spread percentages may either exceed system
maximum frequency ratings or lower the average frequency to
a point where performance is affected. For these reasons,
spreading percentages between 0.5% and 2.5% are most
common.
Functional Description
The W181I uses a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) to frequency
modulate an input clock. The result is an output clock whose
frequency is slowly swept over a narrow band near the input
signal. The basic circuit topology is shown in
Figure 1.
The
input reference signal is divided by Q and fed to the phase
detector. A signal from the VCO is divided by P and fed back
to the phase detector also. The PLL will force the frequency of
the VCO output signal to change until the divided output signal
and the divided reference signal match at the phase detector
input. The output frequency is then equal to the ratio of P/Q

Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing Genera-
tion
The device generates a clock that is frequency modulated in
order to increase the bandwidth that it occupies. By increasing
the bandwidth of the fundamental and its harmonics, the am-
plitudes of the radiated electromagnetic emissions are re-
duced. This effect is depicted in
Figure 2.
As shown in
Figure 2,
a harmonic of a modulated clock has a
much lower amplitude than that of an unmodulated signal. The
reduction in amplitude is dependent on the harmonic number
and the frequency deviation or spread. The equation for the
reduction is:
dB = 6.5 + 9*log
10
(P) + 9*log
10
(F)
Where
P
is the percentage of deviation and
F
is the frequency
in MHz where the reduction is measured.
The output clock is modulated with a waveform depicted in
Figure 3.
This waveform, as discussed in “Spread Spectrum
Clock Generation for the Reduction of Radiated Emissions” by
Bush, Fessler, and Hardin produces the maximum reduction
in the amplitude of radiated electromagnetic emissions.
Figure

details the Cypress spreading pattern. Cypress does offer
options with more spread and greater EMI reduction. Contact
