Product Description

The P278xx is a versatile spread spectrum

frequency modulator designed specifically for digital

camera and other digital video and imaging

applications. The P278xx reduces electromagnetic

interference (EMI) at the clock source, which

provides system wide reduction of EMI of all clock

dependent signals. The P278xx allows significant

system cost savings by reducing the number of

circuit board layers and shielding that are

traditionally required to pass EMI regulations.

The P278xx uses the most efficient and

optimized modulation profile approved by the

FCC.

The P278xx 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.

Applications

The P278xx is targeted towards MFP, xDSL, fax

modem, set-top box, USB controller, DSC, and

embedded systems.

Spread Spectrum Selection

The P278xA performs Zero Cycle Slip when set at low percentage spreading. This allows no

occurrence of system timing error. 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, Pin 1.)

The P2781A is designed for PC peripheral, networking, notebook PC, and LCD monitor applications. It

is optimized for operation between 3 to 78 MHz range. In the following application schematic example,

the P2781A spread percentage selection is determined by the external LF value specified in the Loop

Filter Selection Table. The Input Frequency Selection Table specifies the input frequency range. The

external LF allows the user to fine tune the spread percentage to optimize the EMI reduction benefits

of the spread spectrum.

Note: Both logic input pins FS1 and FS0 have to be connected to either VDD or VSS. Do not leave

them floating.
