P2779A
the clock source, which provides system-wide reduction of
EMI of all clock dependent signals. The P2779A allows
significant system cost savings by reducing the number of
circuit board layers and shielding that are traditionally
required to pass EMI regulations.
The P2779A uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation profile approved by the FCC.
The P2779A 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.
Applications
The P2779A is targeted toward mobile 3D graphics chip set
applications.
Product Description
The P2779A is a versatile spread spectrum frequency
modulator designed specifically for mobile and digital
camera and other digital video and imaging applications.
The P2779A reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) at
