Spread Spectrum

The Output Frequency Selection Table and the Frequency Deviations Selections Table illustrate the two

possible spread spectrum options. The optimal setting should minimize system EMI to the fullest without

affecting system performance. The spreading is described as a percentage deviation of the center frequency

(Note: The center frequency is the frequency of the external reference input on CLKIN, Pin1).

Example:

The P2005X is designed for communications, digital video and imaging applications. It is not only optimized for

operation in the 8MHz – 32MHz range, but its output frequency can be extended down to one half of the input

clock frequency using the divide-by-two feature. This feature extends low frequency as low as to 4MHz. Setting

Pin 3 low (DIV2 = 0; Divide-by-two mode) sets the output frequency (ModOUT) to half the frequency of the input

clock (CLKIN). This is a simple way to generate a spread spectrum modulated low frequency clock when only a

higher frequency signal is available. If you want the output frequency to be the same as the input, you can either

set DIV2=1 or leave it unconnected.

Selecting the P2005X’s spread options is a matter of either setting SR0=1 or SR0=0. Setting SR0=0 set as a

lower modulation spread, while setting it to 1 introduces a wider spectral spread in the output clock. Refer

Modulation output and Spreading Selections Tables.

The example given in the figure below shows the device

set to the divide-by-two mode (DIV2=0) with a lower spectrum range (SR0=0). The versatility provided by

allowing both clock division and spread spectrum on one chip is already proving to be a popular solution among

leading system manufacturers.
