P2041A
which provides system wide reduction of EMI of all clock
dependent signals. The P2041A allows significant system
cost savings by reducing the number of circuit board layers
and shielding that are traditionally required to pass EMI
regulations.
The P2041A uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation
profile
approved
by
the
FCC
and
is
implemented in a proprietary all-digital method.
The P2041A 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 result 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”.
Product Description
The P2041A is a selectable spread spectrum frequency
modulator designed specifically for PC peripheral and
embedded controller markets. The
P2041A reduces
electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the clock source
Applications
The P2041A is targeted towards the embedded controller
market and PC peripheral markets including scanners,
MFP’s, printers, PDA, IA , and GPS devices.
