The FS791/2/4 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. lation 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 4 for recommended values. Due to a wide range of application requirements, an external loop filter (LF) is used on the FS79x 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 FS791/2/4 are designed to operate over a very wide range of input frequencies and provide 1x, 2x, and 4x modulated clock outputs. The Cypress FS791/2/4 Spread Spectrum Clock Generator (SSCG) products are versatile devices to use in a wide range of applications. The bandwidth of the frequency spread at FSOUT is determined by the values of the loop filter components. The modu- Refer to FS781/2/4 products for applications requiring a 6 to 82 MHz frequency range.

All bandwidths indicated above are total peak-to-peak spread, example: 1% = +0.5% to –0.5% and 4% = +2.0% to –2.0% SSCG Modulation Profile The modulation frequency of the FS79x can be computed dividing the input frequency by this 720. The formula to compute the Modulation Frequency is Fm = fin / 720. Example: Fin With the correct loop filter connected to pin 4, the following profile will provide the best EMI reduction. This profile can be seen on a Time Domain Analyzer.

Frequency Profile in Time Domain The FS791/2/4 devices are Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) type clock generators using Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS). By precisely controlling the bandwidth of the output clock, the FS791/792/794 products become Low EMI clock generators. The theory and detailed operation of these products will be discussed in the following sections. products take a narrow band digital reference clock in the range 80–140 MHz and produce a clock that sweeps between a controlled start and stop frequency and precise rate of change. To understand what happens to an SSCG clock, consider that we have a 100-MHz clock with a 50% duty cycle. From a 100-MHz clock we know the following; EMI Clock Frequency = fc = 100 MHz All clocks generate unwanted energy in their harmonics. Conventional digital clocks are square waves with a duty cycle that is very close to 50%. Because of the 50/50 duty cycle, digital clocks generate most of their harmonic energy in the odd harmonics, i.e.; 3rd, 5th, 7th etc. It is possible to reduce the amount of energy contained in the fundamental and harmonics by increasing the bandwidth of the fundamental clock frequency. Conventional digital clocks have a very high Q factor, which means that all of the energy at that frequency is concentrated in a very narrow bandwidth, consequently, higher energy peaks. Regulatory agencies test electronic equipment by the amount of peak energy radiated from the equipment. By reducing the peak energy at the fundamental and harmonic frequencies, the equipment under test is able to satisfy agency requirements for Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Conventional methods of reducing EMI have been to use shielding, filtering, multi-layer PCBs etc. The FS791/2/4 products use the approach of reducing the peak energy in the clock by increasing the clock bandwidth, and lowering the Q of the clock. SSCG The FS791/2/4 products use a unique method of modulating the clock over a very narrow bandwidth and controlled rate of change, both peak-to-peak and cycle-to-cycle. The FS79x Document #: 38-07343 Rev *A Clock Period = Tc =1/100 MHz = 10 ns 50% 50% Figure 3. Unmodulated Clock Consider that this 100-MHz clock is applied to the Xin input of the FS79x, either as an externally driven clock or as the result of a parallel resonant crystal connected to pins 1 and 2 of the FS79x. Also consider that the products are operating from a 5-volt DC power supply and the loop filter is set for a total bandwidth spread of 2%. Refer to Table 5 on page 4. From the above parameters, the output clock at FSOUT will be sweeping symmetrically around a center frequency of 100 MHz. The minimum and maximum extremes of this clock will be +1.0 MHz and –1.0 MHz. So, we have a clock that is sweeping from 99.0 MHz to 101.0 MHz and back again. If we were to look at this clock on a spectrum analyzer we would see the picture in Figure 4. Keep in mind that this is a drawing of a perfect clock with no noise. Page 5 of 9 FS791/92/94 Fc = 100 MHz Fmin = 99.0 MHz Fmax = 101.0 MHz Figure 4. 100-MHz Spectrum We see that the original 100-MHz reference clock is at the center Frequency, Cf, and the minimum and maximum extremes are positioned symmetrically about the center frequency. This type of modulation is called Center-Spread. Figure 5 shows a 100-MHz clock, as it would be seen on an oscilloscope. The top trace is the non-modulated reference clock. The bottom trace is the modulated clock at pin 6. From this comparison chart you can see that the frequency is decreasing and the period of each successive clock is increasing. The Tc measurements on the left and right of the bottom trace indicate the max. and min. extremes of the clock. Intermediate clock changes are small and accumulate to achieve the total period deviation. The reverse of this figure would show the clock going from min. extreme back to the high extreme. MHz, the bandwidth of the 3rd harmonic will be 3 times 2.0, or 6.0 MHz. The amount of bandwidth is relative to the amount of energy in the clock. Consequently, the wider the bandwidth, the greater the energy reduction of the clock. Looking at Figure 4, you will note that the peak amplitude of the 100-MHz non-modulated clock is higher than the wideband modulated clock. This difference in peak amplitudes between modulated and unmodulated clocks is the reason why SSCG clocks are so effective in digital systems. This figure refers to the fundamental frequency of a clock. A very important characteristic of the SSCG clock is that the bandwidth of the fundamental frequency is multiplied by the harmonic number. In other words, if the bandwidth of a 100-MHz clock is 2.0 The difference in the peak energy of the modulated clock and the non-modulated clock in typical applications will see a 2–3 dB reduction at the fundamental and as much as 8–10 dB reduction at the intermediate harmonics, 3rd, 5th, 7th etc. At the higher harmonics, it is quite possible to reduce the peak harmonic energy, compared to the unmodulated clock, by as much as 12 to 20 dB. Tc =49.50 ns. Most applications will not have a problem meeting agency specifications at the fundamental frequency. It is the higher harmonics that usually cause the most problems. With an SSCG clock, the bandwidth and peak energy reduction increases with the harmonic number. Consider that the 9th harmonic of a 100-MHz clock is 900 MHz. With a total spread of 2.0 MHz at 100 MHz, the spread at the 9th harmonic would be 18.0 MHz which greatly reduces the peak energy content. It is typical to see as much as 12 to 20 dB reduction at the higher harmonics, due to a modulated clock. Tc = 50.50 ns Figure 5.
