ASM3P2590A
Low Power Peak EMI Reducing Solution
Features
The ASM3P2590A uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation profile approved by the FCC and is
implemented by using a proprietary all digital method.
•
Generates a 1X low EMI optimized clock signal at the
output.
•
•
•
•
•
Integrated loop filter components.
Operates with a 3.3 / 2.5V Supply.
Operating current less than 5mA.
Low power CMOS design.
Input frequency range
60MHz to 120MHz for 2.5V
60MHz to 120MHz for 3.3V
Frequency deviation: ±0.75% (Typ) @85MHz Output
frequency.
The ASM3P2590A 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’.

Available in 6-pin TSOT-23 Package.
Applications
Product Description
The ASM3P2590A is targeted towards all portable
devices with very low power requirements like MP3
players,MFP, LCD Panel Module and digital still cameras.
The ASM3P2590A is
a versatile spread spectrum
frequency modulator designed specifically for a wide
range of clock frequencies. The ASM3P2590A reduces
electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the clock source,
allowing system wide reduction of EMI of all clock
dependent signals. The ASM3P2590A allows significant
system cost savings by reducing the number of circuit
board layers ferrite beads, shielding that are traditionally
required to pass EMI regulations.
