P2040A
LCD Panel EMI Reduction IC
Features
modulator designed specifically for digital flat panel
applications. The P2040A reduces electromagnetic
interference (EMI) at the clock source, allowing system
wide reduction of EMI of down stream clock and data
dependent signals. The P2040A allows significant system
cost savings by reducing the number of circuit board

The P2040A 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’.
