【New Product】Significantly Reduces EMI Noise! Development of a Spread Spectrum Type Crystal Oscillator
Kyushu Dentsu Co., Ltd. (KDK) has developed a new series of crystal oscillators with built-in spread spectrum functionality.
As electronic devices continue to become more sophisticated and compact, EMI noise suppression has become a major design challenge.
When EMI noise caused by clock signals becomes an issue, this innovative device slightly varies (modulates) the output frequency to disperse energy concentrated at specific frequencies over a wider bandwidth, thereby significantly reducing peak noise levels.
