GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The IMI SM530 is a Spectrum Spread Clock Modulator designed for the purpose of reducing the Electro- Magnetic
Interference (EMI) found in today’s high speed digital systems. The SM530 is well suited for a wide range of digital
system applications that require a reduction of radiated energy. This unwanted radiated energy is usually found in
the odd harmonics of digital system clocks. By increasing the bandwidth of the digital clock, measured EMI at the
fundamental and harmonic frequencies is greatly reduced. This reduction in radiated energy can significantly
reduce the cost of complying with regulatory requirements and time to market, without degrading clock and timing
signals.
The IMI SM530 is extremely versatile and flexible in that program control is available for each of the operating
modes. Program control is provided for Input Frequency, Output Frequency Multiplication, Output Bandwidth,
Center/Down Spread of Fout, Modulation ON/OFF and Fout state during Power Down Mode
Depending on the range of operation, the output clock, Fout, can be a multiple (1, 2, 4) or a fraction (1, 1/2, 1/4) of
the input frequency. The SM530 can synchronously stop the modulated output at the low logic level. The power-
down mode adds the flexibility of operating in a completely static mode for reduced standby current and simplified
system board testing.
There are many benefits to using the SM530 Low EMI Clock Modulator. The most important benefit is reducing
the amount of clock related EMI by as much as 12 - 18 dB., depending on the application. Refer to SM532
datasheet for the 16 pin SOIC version, which only supports Center-Spread operation.
