Spread Spectrum Clock Generation (SSCG)
Spread Spectrum is a modulation technique used to
minimizing EMI reduction generated by repetitive digital
signals. A clock presents the generated EMI energy at the
center frequency it is generating. Spread Spectrum distributes
this energy over a specific and controlled frequency bandwidth
therefore causing the average energy at any 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.
Table 5 is a listing of the modes and percentages of Spread
Spectrum modulation that this device incorporates.
