IDT releases new family of low-power spread spectrum clock generators


Jul 04, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Integrated Device Technology, Inc., or IDT, the Analog and Digital Company delivering mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, has released a new family of low-power spread spectrum clock generators.

According to the company, the frequency range and compact package make the device versatile and unobtrusive, allowing users to address EMI challenges in a variety of applications including digital TVs, set-top boxes, printers, industrial control, battery powered electronics, and computer or embedded computing systems.

The IDT 5P5090x family of devices support spread spectrum clocking frequencies from 10MHz to 170MHz with seven selectable modulation amplitudes and operate with a supply voltage down to 1.8V for reduced power consumption. The device is available in a low-cost, minuscule 2x2mm 8-pin DFN or MSOP package, minimizing the board area required for placement, a critical requirement for today's compact consumer products.

"Our latest spread spectrum clock generators reinforce IDT's leadership position in clocks and timing solutions," said Ram Iyer, vice president and general manager of the Computing and Multimedia Division at IDT.


"The wide frequency range, selectable modulation amplitudes, and small package are exactly what our customers have been asking for. In addition, we've lowered the power consumption to offer one of the industry's most efficient products. EMI can be a simple problem to solve with the right products, and IDT's rich portfolio contains devices aimed at addressing EMI challenges." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
