Overview
The W181 products are one series of devices in the Cypress
PREMIS family. The PREMIS family incorporates the latest
advances in PLL spread spectrum frequency synthesizer
techniques. 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
Simplified Block Diagram on page 1 shows a simple imple-
mentation.
Functional Description
The W181 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
times the reference frequency. (Note: For the W181 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
predetermined frequency band.

Because the modulating frequency is typically 1000 times
slower than the fundamental clock, the spread spectrum
process has little impact on system performance.
Frequency Selection With SSFTG
In Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing Generation, EMI
reduction 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.
However, 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.

Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing
Generation
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 ampli-
tudes of the radiated electromagnetic emissions are reduced.
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 3
details the Cypress spreading pattern. Cypress does
offer options with more spread and greater EMI reduction.
