percentage deviation range from ±0.625% to -3.50%.
The P28xx reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) at
the clock source, allowing a system wide EMI reduction for
all the down stream clocks and data dependent signals.
The P28xx allows significant system cost savings by
reducing the number of circuit board layers, ferrite beads,
shielding, and other passive components that are
traditionally required to pass EMI regulations.
The P28xx modulates the output of a single PLL in order to
“spread” the bandwidth of a synthesized clock, thereby
decreasing 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 clock generators.

Product Description
The P28xx is a versatile spread spectrum frequency
modulator designed specifically for input clock frequencies
from 10 to 40 MHz (see Input/Output Frequency Range
Selections). The P28xx can generate an EMI reduced clock
from crystal, ceramic resonator, or system clock. The
P28xx-A and P28xx-B offer various combinations of spread
options and percentage deviations (see Output Frequency
Applications
The P28xx is targeted towards EMI management for
memory interfaces in mobile graphic chipsets and high-
speed digital applications such as PC peripheral devices,
consumer electronics, and embedded controller systems.
