the clock source, which provides system-wide reduction of
EMI of all clock dependent signals. The P2779A allows
significant system cost savings by reducing the number of
circuit board layers and shielding that are traditionally
required to pass EMI regulations.
The P2779A uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation profile approved by the FCC.
The P2779A 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.
Applications
The P2779A is targeted toward mobile 3D graphics chip set
applications.
Product Description

Spread Spectrum Selection
P2779A
The P2779A performs zero cycle slip when set at low percentage spreading. This prevents any occurrence of system timing
error. The optimal setting should minimize system EMI to the fullest without affecting system performance. The spreading is
described as a percentage deviation of the center frequency. (Note that the center frequency is the frequency of the external
reference input on XIN/CLKIN, pin 1.)
The P2779A is designed for PC peripheral, networking, notebook PC, and LCD monitor applications. It is optimized for
operation from 20MHz to 38MHz. The P2779A’s spread percentage selection is determined by the external LF value
specified in the Loop Filter Selection Table. The external LF allows the user to fine tune the spread percentage to optimize
the EMI reduction benefits of the spread spectrum.
