Product Description
The P1708C is a versatile spread spectrum frequency
modulator designed specifically for input clock frequencies.
The P1708C reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) at
the clock source, allowing system wide reduction of EMI of
Block Diagram
down stream clock and data dependent signals. The
P1708C 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 P1708C 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 P1708C uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation profile approved by the FCC and is
implemented in a proprietary all digital method.
Applications
The P1708C is targeted towards notebook LCD displays,
and other displays using an LVDS interface, PC peripheral
devices, and embedded systems.
