W155
Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing Generator
Features
• Generates a spread spectrum timing signal (SYSCLK)
and a non-spread signal (USBCLK)
• Requires a 14.318-MHz crystal for operation
• Supports MIPS microprocessor clock frequencies
• Reduces peak EMI by as much as 12 dB
• Integrated loop filter components
• Cycle-to-cycle jitter = 250 ps (max)
• Operates with a 3.3 or 5.0V power supply
• Spread output is selectable from 10 to 133 MHz
• TEST mode supports modulation off (High-Z) and spe-
cial test input reference frequency
• Guaranteed 45/55 duty cycle
• Packaged in a 16-pin, 300-mil-wide SOIC (Small Outline
Integrated Circuit)

Overview
The W155 incorporates the latest advances in PLL-based
spread spectrum frequency synthesizer technology. By fre-
quency modulating the SYSCLK output with a low-frequency
carrier, peak EMI can be greatly reduced in a system. Use of
this technique allows systems to pass increasingly difficult EMI
testing without resorting to costly shielding or redesign.
In a system that uses the W155, not only is EMI reduced in the
various clock lines, but also in all signals which are synchro-
nized to SYSCLK. Therefore, the benefits of using this tech-
nique increase with the number of address and data lines in
the system.
The W155 is specifically targeted toward MIPS microproces-
sor based systems where EMI is of particular concern. Each
device uses a single 14.318-MHz crystal to generate a select-
able spread spectrum output and an unmodulated 48-MHz
USB Output.
The spreading function can be disabled by taking the SSON#
pin high. Spread percentage can be selected with the SS%
input (see
Table 2
below).
