Applications
Product Description
The Cypress FS781/2/4 are Spread Spectrum Clock Generator ICs (SSCG) designed for the purpose of reducing
Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) found in today’s high-speed digital systems.
The FS781/2/4 SSCG clocks use an IMI proprietary technology to modulate the input clock frequency, FSOUT by
modulating the frequency of the digital clock. By modulating the reference clock the measured EMI at the
fundamental and harmonic frequencies of FSOUT is greatly reduced. This reduction in radiated energy can
significantly reduce the cost of complying with regulatory requirements without degrading digital waveforms.
The Cypress FS781/2/4 clocks are very simple and versatile devices to use. By programming the two range
select lines, S0 and S1, any frequency from 6 to 82 MHz operating range can be selected. The FS781/2/4 are
designed to operate over a very wide range of input frequencies and provides 1x, 2x and 4x modulated clock
outputs.
The FS78x devices have a simple frequency selection table that allows operation from 6 MHz to 82 MHz in four
separate ranges. The bandwidth of the frequency spread at FSOUT is determined by the values of the loop filter
components. The modulation rate is determined internally by the input frequency and the selected input frequency
range.
The Bandwidth of these products can be programmed from as little as 0.6% up to as much as 4.0% by selecting
the proper loop filter value. Refer to the Loop Filter Selection chart on page 6 for recommended values. Due to a
wide range of application requirements, an external loop filter (LF) is used on the FS78x products. The user can
select the exact amount of frequency modulation suitable for the application. Using a fix internal loop filter would
severely limit the use of a wide range of modulation bandwidths (Spread %) to a few discrete values.
Refer to FS791/2/4 products for applications requiring 80 to 140 MHz frequency range.
