Product Description

The P278xA is a versatile spread spectrum frequency modulator designed specifically for digital camera and other digital video and imaging applications. The P278xA reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the clock source, which provides system wide reduction of EMI of all clock dependent signals. The P278xA allows significant system cost savings by reducing the number of

circuit board layers and shielding that are traditionally required to pass EMI regulations.
