This paper proposes a prototype of a Spread Spectrum Clock Generator which is the first known specifically meant for 3 GHz Serial ATA-II applications. The modulation is obtained from a fractional PLL which employs a Delta-Sigma modulator. A further innovative aspect of our work is that our prototype takes advantage of a chaotic PAM as driving signal, instead a triangular signal as in all spread spectrum generators proposed in literature for SATA-II. In this way we avoid the periodicity of the modulated clock, completely flattening the peaks in the power spectral density. The circuit prototype has been designed n 0.13 μm CMOS technology and achieves a peak reduction greater than 14 dB measured at RBW = 100 kHz. The chip active area is 0.27×0.78 mm2 and the power consumption is as low as 14.7 mW. © 2008 IEEE.
