Product Description
Simplified Block Diagram
The ASM3P2190A is a versatile spread spectrum
frequency modulator designed specifically for a
wide range of clock frequencies. The
ASM3P2190A
reduces
electromagnetic
3.3V
interference (EMI) at the clock source, allowing
system wide reduction of EMI of down stream
clock and data dependent signals. The
ASM3P2190A allows significant system cost
savings by reducing the number of circuit board
layers and shielding that are traditionally required
to pass EMI regulations.

The ASM3P2190A modulates the output of a
single 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.

The ASM3P2190A uses the most efficient and
optimized modulation profile approved by the
FCC and is implemented by using a proprietary
all-digital method.
