Document #: 38-07021 Rev. *C Page 2 of 8 General Description The Cypress SM561 is a Spread Spectrum Clock Generator (SSCG) IC used for the purpose of reducing EMI found in today’s high-speed digital electronic systems. The SM561 uses a Cypress proprietary phase-locked loop (PLL) and Spread Spectrum Clock (SSC) technology to synthesize and frequency modulate the input frequency of the reference clock. By frequency modulating the clock, the measured EMI at the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of Clock (SSCLK) is greatly reduced. This reduction in radiated energy can significantly reduce the cost of complying with regulatory requirements and time to market without degrading the system performance. The SM561 is a very simple and versatile device to use. The frequency and spread% range is selected by programming S0 and S1 digital inputs. These inputs use three (3) logic states including High (H), Low (L), and Middle (M) to select one of the nine available Frequency Modulation and Spread% ranges. Refer to Table for programming details. The SM561 is intended for use with applications with a reference frequency in the range of 54 to 166 MHz. A wide range of digitally selectable spread percentages is made possible by using Tri-level (High, Low, and Middle) logic at the S0 and S1 digital control inputs. The output spread (frequency modulation) is symmetrically centered on the input frequency. Spread Spectrum Clock Control (SSCC) function enables or disables the frequency spread and is provided for easy comparison of system performance during EMI testing. The SM561 is available in an eight-pin SOIC package with a 0°C-to-70°C operating temperature range. Refer to the SM560 data sheet for operation at frequencies from 25 to 108 MHz.

Document #: 38-07021 Rev. *C Page 5 of 8 SSCG Theory of Operation The SM561 is a PLL-type clock generator using a proprietary Cypress design. By precisely controlling the bandwidth of the output clock, the SM561 becomes a Low EMI clock generator. The theory and detailed operation of the SM561 will be discussed in the following sections. EMI All digital clocks generate unwanted energy in their harmonics. Conventional digital clocks are square waves with a duty cycle that is very close to 50%. Because of this 50/50 duty cycle, digital clocks generate most of their harmonic energy in the odd harmonics, i.e., third, fifth, seventh, etc. It is possible to reduce the amount of energy contained in the fundamental and odd harmonics by increasing the bandwidth of the funda- mental clock frequency. Conventional digital clocks have a very high Q factor, which means that all of the energy at that frequency is concentrated in a very narrow bandwidth, conse- quently, higher energy peaks. Regulatory agencies test electronic equipment by the amount of peak energy radiated from the equipment. By reducing the peak energy at the funda- mental and harmonic frequencies, the equipment under test is able to satisfy agency requirements for EMI. Conventional methods of reducing EMI have been to use shielding, filtering, multilayer PCBs, etc. The SM561 uses the approach of reducing the peak energy in the clock by increasing the clock bandwidth, and lowering the Q. SSCG SSCG uses a patented technology of modulating the clock over a very narrow bandwidth and controlled rate of change, both peak and cycle to cycle. The SM561 takes a narrow band digital reference clock in the range of 54–166 MHz and produces a clock that sweeps between a controlled start and stop frequency and precise rate of change. To understand what happens to a clock when SSCG is applied, consider a 65-MHz clock with a 50% duty cycle. From a 65-MHz clock we know the following, as illustrated here. If this clock is applied to the Xin/CLK pin of the SM561, the output clock at pin 4 (SSCLK) will be sweeping back and forth between two frequencies. These two frequencies, F1 and F2, are used to calculate to total amount of spread or bandwidth applied to the reference clock at pin 1. As the clock is making the transition from F1 to F2, the amount of time and sweep waveform play a very important role in the amount of EMI reduction realized from an SSCG clock. The modulation domain analyzer is used to visualize the sweep waveform and sweep period. Figure 1 also shows the modulation profile of a 65-MHz SSCG clock. Notice that the actual sweep waveform is not a simple sine or sawtooth waveform. Figure 2 is a scan of the same SSCG clock using a spectrum analyzer. In this scan you can see a 6.48-dB reduction in the peak RF energy when using the SSCG clock. Modulation Rate Spectrum Spread Clock Generators utilize frequency modulation (FM) to distribute energy over a specific band of frequencies. The maximum frequency of the clock (Fmax) and minimum frequency of the clock (Fmin) determine this band of frequencies. The time required to transition from Fmin to Fmax and back to Fmin is the period of the Modulation Rate, Tmr. Modulation Rates of SSCG clocks are generally referred to in terms of frequency or Fmod = 1/Tmod. The input clock frequency, Fin, and the internal divider count, Cdiv, determine the Modulation Rate. In some SSCG clock generators, the selected range determines the internal divider count. In other SSCG clocks, the internal divider count is fixed over the operating range of the part. The SM560 and SM561 have a fixed divider count, as listed below. Tc = 15.4 ns 50 % 50 % Clock Frequency = fc = 65 MHz Clock Period = Tc =1/65 MHz = 15.4 ns
