Spread Spectrum Clocking
A Spread Spectrum Clock (SSC) is widely used for reducing the peak
electromagnetic radiation at the nominal clock frequency. With SSC, the
clock pulse is modulated with a relatively low-frequency triangle
waveform. This broadens the clock signal spectrum and reduces the peak
energy. The M8020A/M8030A allows to emulate such SSC on the data,
trigger and clock output signals.
The M8020A/M8030A has a built-in SSC generator.
For the SSC settings, go to Menu Bar > Clock > Clock Generator and then
select SSC function block from the Parameter window.
