  • Patent number: 9509295
    Abstract: A spread-spectrum clock (SSC) generator for generating an SSC signal. The SSC generator has a first up/down counter that operates for a fixed, first duration (t1), a first PRBS generator that operate for a variable, second duration (t2), a second up/down counter that operates for a fixed, third duration (t3), and a second PRBS generator that operates for a variable, fourth duration (t4). A state machine sequentially triggers the first counter and the first PRBS generator to generate a positive portion of a cycle of the SSC signal and then sequentially triggers the second counter and the second PRBS generator to generate a negative portion of the cycle of the SSC signal. For a set of parameters stored in configurable registers, the first and third durations are fixed from cycle to cycle, while the second and fourth durations vary from cycle to cycle.
