Abstract

This paper presents a regulated pulse current driver with a spread spectrum clock generator (SSCG) to lower the electromagnetic interference (EMI) effect. An SSCG is used and implemented by applying a triangular wave to modulate a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The results show a 7 dBm reduction in the peak power level with a frequency deviation of 10%, demonstrating that the dominate harmonic is spread and distributed to adjacent frequencies, and the magnitude of harmonics is significantly reduced. The results demonstrate that the driver with a spread spectrum clock generator would help to reduce interference in sensitive electronic components and be suitable for portable consumer electronics applications.
Keywords: regulated pulse current driver; spread spectrum clock generator (SSCG); electromagnetic interference (EMI); voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) regulated pulse current driver; spread spectrum clock generator (SSCG); electromagnetic interference (EMI); voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)
