PRODUCTION DATA
Spread-spectrum modulation is a method to spread emitted energy over a larger bandwidth. In clocking, spread spectrum can reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) by reducing the level of emission from clock distribution network.
Spread spectrum clocking can be used to help reduce EMI to meet design specifications. For example, a specified EMI threshold of 55 dB/mV would require ±1% spread-spectrum clocking to meet this requirement.
