As an example and using this formula for this data sheet’s
device, a design that has no discrete loading capacitors
(C
DISC
) and each of the crystal device PCB traces has a
capacitance (C
PCB
) to ground of 4 pF (typical value) would
calculate as follows.
Therefore, to obtain output frequencies that are as close to this
data sheets specified values as possible, in this design
example, you should specify a parallel cut crystal that is
designed to work into a load of 20 pF.
Spread Spectrum Clocking
Down Spread Description
Spread Spectrum is a modulation technique for distributing
clock period over a certain bandwidth (called Spread
Bandwidth). This technique allows the distribution of the
undesirable electromagnetic energy (EMI) over a wide range
of frequencies therefore reducing the average radiated energy
present at any frequency over a given time period. As the
spread is specified as a percentage of the resting (non-spread)
frequency value, it is effective at the fundamental and, to a
greater extent, at all it's harmonics.
In this device, Spread Spectrum is enabled externally through
pin 27 (SSCG#) or internally via SMBus Byte 0 Bit 0 and 6.
Spread spectrum is enabled externally when the SSCG# pin
is low. This pin has an internal device pull up resistor, which
causes its state to default to a high (Spread Spectrum
disabled) unless externally forced to a low. It may also be
enabled by programming SMBus Byte 0 Bit 0 LOW (to enable
SMBus control of the function) and then programming SMBus
Byte 0 Bit 6 LOW to set the feature active.

Note:

When SSCG is enabled, the device will down spread the clock over a range that is 1% of its resting frequency. This means that for a 100-MHz output clock
frequency will sweep through a spectral range from 99 to 100 MHz.
