Product Description

The P1819 is a Versatile Spread Spectrum Frequency

Modulator designed specifically for input clock frequencies

from 20 to 40MHz. (Refer Input Frequency and Modulation

Rate

Table).

The

P1819

reduces

electromagnetic

interference (EMI) at the clock source, allowing system

wide reduction of EMI of down stream clock and data

dependent signals. The P1819 allows significant system

cost savings by reducing the number of circuit board layers

ferrite beads, shielding and other passive components that

are traditionally required to pass EMI regulations.

The P1819 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’.

The P1819 is available in different spread deviation, refer

to “Spread Deviation Selection” Table.

The P1819 uses the most efficient and optimized

modulation profile approved by the FCC and is

implemented in a proprietary all digital method.

Applications

The P1819 is targeted towards EMI management for

memory and LVDS interfaces in mobile graphic chipsets

and high-speed digital applications such as PC peripheral

devices, consumer electronics, and embedded controller

systems.
