P2040A
LCD Panel EMI Reduction IC
Features
implemented in a proprietary all digital method.
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
FCC approved method of EMI attenuation.
The P2040A 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’.
Provides up to 20dB of EMI suppression.
Generates a low EMI spread spectrum clock of the
input frequency.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Input frequency range: 30MHz to 110MHz.
Optimized for VGA, SVGA, and higher resolution
XGA LCD Panels.
ꢀ
Internal loop filter minimizes external components
and board space.
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Six selectable high spread ranges up to ± 2%.
Two selectable modulation rates.
SSON# control pin for spread spectrum enable
and disable options.
Applications
The P2040A is targeted towards digital flat panel
applications for notebook PCs, palm-size PCs, office
automation equipments and LCD monitors.

Product Description
The P2040A is a versatile spread spectrum frequency
modulator designed specifically for digital flat panel
applications. The P2040A reduces electromagnetic
interference (EMI) at the clock source, allowing system
wide reduction of EMI of down stream clock and data
dependent signals. The P2040A 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 P2040A uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation profile approved by the FCC and is
