    Abstract: An improved spread spectrum clock generator circuit is provided which automatically compensates for variations in passive component values and system gain and charge pump current in a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit (100). The pulse widths of the UP (124) and DOWN (126) outputs of the Phase Frequency Detector (PFD) (122) are monitored at particular intervals to determine the deviation error of these UP and DOWN signals (124, 126), as compared to typical or nominal pulse-width durations. After an error is determined in the actual values of the pulse-width durations, the PLL system (100) is adjusted depending upon the magnitude and direction of the error signal. Changes in the PLL gain parameters, especially the VCO (134) gain and charge pump current, have a significant effect on the PFD (122) outputs, such that the width of the UP and DOWN signals (124, 126) vary as the frequency changes along the spread spectrum profile.

    Abstract: A radio receiver receives a 4-FSK signal through a radio system (101) and a detector (102) detects a four-level detected signal from the 4-FSK signal. The four-level detected signal is converted into digital form by an AD converter (104). The digital signal is stored onto a memory (114). The AD conversion is performed at intervals obtained from the four-level detected signal. A CPU (112) performs the data processing of the received digital data when the AD conversion is not performed and does not perform it when the AD conversion is performed.

    Abstract: A clock recovery circuit and a method for reduced electromagnetic emission (EMI) and increasing an attainable clock frequency includes a spread spectrum clock (SSC) generator that receives an input clock signal and generates a frequency-modulated clock signal, and a zero-delay buffer circuit that receives and buffers said modulated clock frequency signed to generate an output clock signal. The frequency-modulated clock signal and the output clock signal are phase-aligned such that there is no phase difference between the output clock signal and the modulated frequency clock signal. The clock recovery circuit also includes a delay-locked loop (DLL) circuit that reduces related art jitter and skew characteristics, and a phase detector circuit that eliminates phase ambiguity problems of a related art phase detector.

    Abstract: A clock circuit includes an oscillator (15) for generating a reference frequency signal, and a spread spectrum clock generator (14) cooperating with the oscillator for generating a spread spectrum clock output signal having a fundamental frequency and reduced amplitude EMI spectral components at harmonics of the fundamental frequency. The spread spectrum clock generator preferably includes a clock pulse generator for generating a series of clock pulses, and a spread spectrum modulator for frequency modulating the clock pulse generator to broaden and flatten amplitudes of EMI spectral components which would otherwise be produced by the clock pulse generator. The spread spectrum modulator frequency modulates the clock pulses with specific profiles of frequency deviation versus the period of the profile. Electronic devices including the spread spectrum clock circuit and associated method are also disclosed.

    Abstract: In a computer or other digital system a clock or other synchronous signal (12) is routed from a source (16) to a destination (18) as a double side band suppressed carrier (DSB-SC) signal (14). The clock or other synchronous signal is amplitude modulated at the source using a broadband low frequency envelope signal (20). The modulated signal is the DSB-SC signal, which then is routed over PC board traces (15) to the destination. At the destination, the DSB-SC signal is demodulated to achieve the clock or other synchronous signal (60). The envelope signal (20,20') is separately generated from a common key (72) at both the source and destination, is routed to bother the source to the destination, or is routed from the source to the destination.
