Product Description
The ASM3P2180A is a versatile Spread
Spectrum frequency modulator designed
specifically for a wide range of clock
frequencies.
The
ASM3P2180A
reduces
electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the clock
source, allowing system wide reduction of EMI
of down stream clock and data dependent
signals. The ASM3P2180A allows significant
system cost savings by reducing the number of
circuit board layers and shielding that are
traditionally required to pass EMI regulations.
The ASM3P2180A modulates the output of a
single PLL in order to “spread” the bandwidth of
a synthesized clock, thereby decreasing the
peak amplitudes of its harmonics. This results in
significantly lower system EMI compared to the
Simplified Block Diagram
ASM3P2180A
typical narrow band signal produced by
oscillators and most clock generators. Lowering
EMI by increasing a signal’s bandwidth is called
spread spectrum clock generation.
The ASM3P2180A uses the most efficient and
optimized modulation profile approved by the
FCC and is implemented by using a proprietary
all-digital method.
Applications
The ASM3P2180A is targeted towards notebook
LCD displays, other displays using an LVDS
interface, PC peripheral devices and embedded
systems.

Description
Crystal connection or external reference frequency input. This pin has
dual functions. It can be connected to either an external crystal or an
external reference clock.
Crystal connection. Connection for an external crystal. If using an
external reference, this pin must be left unconnected.
Ground to entire chip.
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. Internal pull-up resistor.
Output modulated frequency. Copy of the un-modulated input clock.
Power supply for the entire chip (3.3V).
Frequency selection bit 1. This pin selects the frequency range of
operation. (Refer
to the Frequency Range Selection Table).
This pin
has an internal pull-up resistor.
No connect.
