Product Description
The CYPRESS FS786/787 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 FS786/787 devices have a simple frequency
selection table that allows operation from 6 MHz to
82 MHz in two separate ranges and two separate
parts. 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 FS786/787 SSCG clocks use an Cypress
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 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 FS786/787 products. The user can
select the exact amount of frequency modulation
suitable for the application. Using a fixed internal
loop filter would severely limit the use of a wide
range of modulation bandwidths (Spread %) to a few
discrete values.
The CYPRESS FS786/787 clocks are very simple
and versatile devices to use. Range selection is
performed via one pin, D0. The FS786/787 are
designed to operate over a very wide range of input
frequencies and provide one modulated and one
non-modulated output.
Refer to FS791/2/4 products for applications
requiring 80 to 140 MHz frequency range.
