Description

The SL15300 a programmable low power Spread

Spectrum Clock Generator (SSCG) used for reducing

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). The product is

designed using SpectraLinear proprietary programmable

EProClock™

phase-locked loop (PLL) and Spread

Spectrum Clock (SSC) technology to synthesize and

modulate the input clock. The modulated clock can

significantly reduce the measured EMI levels, and leading

to the compliance with regulatory agency requirements.

Up to 4 output clock frequencies, Spread %, output rise

and fall times, crystal load, modulation frequency and

PD#/OE/SSON#/FS functions can be programmed to meet

the needs of wide range of applications. The SL15300

operates from 2.5V to 3.3V power supply voltage range.

The product is offered in 8-pin TSSOP package with

commercial and industrial grades.

Benefits

• Peak EMI reduction of 8 to 16 dB

• Fast time-to-market

• Cost Reduction

• Reduction of PCB layers

• Eleminates the need for higher order crystals (Xtals)

and crystal oscillators (XOs)
