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 the 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.
