electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the clock source.
The ASM3P2110A allows significant system cost savings
by reducing the number of circuit board layers and
shielding that are required to pass EMI regulations. The
ASM3P2110A modulates the output of PLL in order to
spread the bandwidth of a synthesized clock, thereby
decreasing 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 clock generators. Lowering EMI by increasing a
signal’s bandwidth is called spread spectrum clock
generation.
