P2005A/S

The P2005X is a versatile spread spectrum frequency modulator designed specifically for input clock frequencies from 8MHz to 32MHz. Refer Output Frequency Selection Table. The P2005X can generate an EMI reduced clock from crystal, ceramic resonator, or system clock. The P2005X offers various percentage deviations ranging form ±0.6% to ±3.0%. Refer Frequency Deviation Selections Table. The P2005X reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the clock source, allowing system wide reduction of EMI of down stream clock and data dependent signals. The P2005X 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 P2005X uses the most efficient and optimized modulation profile approved by the FCC and is implemented in a proprietary all digital method.

The P2005X 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'.
