ON Semiconductor, a supplier of silicon solutions for energy efficient electronics has introduced a new series of active spread spectrum clock generator integrated circuits (ICs) to manage electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) and deliver “system-wide EMI reduction of all clock dependent signals.”
According to Ryan Cameron, vice president of Industrial and Timing Products at ON Semiconductor, “[achieving] EMI regulatory compliance while controlling costs and minimizing PCB real estate is a significant challenge for mobile and computing applications.” He adds that the company’s new EMI reduction ICs “[address] these challenges … by providing a cost effective solution that reduces EMI/RFI at the source and at all downstream clock and data signals derived from the source.” The P3P8203A LVCMOS peak EMI reduction clock generator is suited for graphics cards, computing and consumer applications while the P3MS650100H andP3MS650103H LVCMOS peak EMI reduction clock generators are ideal for use in PCB space constrained applications in portable, battery powered devices.
