Dial-a-Frequency Features
SMBus Dial-a-Frequency feature is available in this device via
Byte8 and Byte9.
P is a large-value PLL constant that depends on the frequency
selection achieved through the hardware selectors (S1, S0). P
value may be determined from
Table 2.

therefore causing the average energy at any one point in this
band to decrease in value. This technique is achieved by
modulating the clock away from its resting frequency by a
certain percentage (which also determines the amount of EMI
reduction). In this device, Spread Spectrum is enabled by
setting specific register bits in the SMBus control bytes.

Spectrum modulation that this device incorporates.

Spread Spectrum Clock Generation (SSCG)
Spread Spectrum is a modulation technique used to
minimizing EMI radiation generated by repetitive digital
signals. A clock presents the greatest EMI energy at the center
frequency it is generating. Spread Spectrum distributes this
energy over a specific and controlled frequency bandwidth
