Description
本發明是有關於一種展頻時脈產生器(SSCG: spread-spectrum clock generator),且特別是有關於一種可程式化電荷幫浦的展頻時脈產生電路。The present invention relates to a spread-spectrum clock generator (SSCG), and more particularly to a spread-spectrum clock generating circuit for a programmable charge pump.
隨著電子電路產業發展迅速,使得電子元件的操作頻率日益加速,因而引發了電磁干擾(electronic magnetic interference,EMI)的問題。換言之,時脈訊號所造成的高頻電磁雜訊干擾變成了不可忽略的議題。電磁雜訊干擾不僅會影響電路的穩定度,也可能干擾到周遭的其他電子元件。電磁干擾之主要來源通常為系統時脈,例如來自於時脈產生器、晶體振盪器、壓控振盪器以及鎖相迴路。尤其是,對於強調無線通訊品質的電子裝置而言,時脈訊號所引起的電磁雜訊將干擾到電子裝置之無線通訊系統的接收訊號。With the rapid development of the electronic circuit industry, the operating frequency of electronic components is accelerating, which causes the problem of electronic magnetic interference (EMI). In other words, the high frequency electromagnetic noise interference caused by the clock signal becomes a non-negligible issue. Electromagnetic noise interference not only affects the stability of the circuit, but also interferes with other electronic components around it. The main source of electromagnetic interference is usually the system clock, such as from the clock generator, crystal oscillator, voltage controlled oscillator, and phase-locked loop. In particular, for an electronic device that emphasizes the quality of wireless communication, electromagnetic noise caused by the clock signal will interfere with the received signal of the wireless communication system of the electronic device.
傳統的電磁干擾的預防措施包括電磁干擾濾波器、陶鐵磁珠(ferrite beads)、控流線圈(choke)、金屬遮蔽、特殊塗層、以及射頻襯墊(RF gasket)等等。當今降低整體系統之電磁雜訊干擾的有效方法之一為使用展頻(spread spectrum)技術,展頻技術是對時脈頻率進行調變的一種技術。縱然展頻的作法可以減少電磁干擾效應且成本較低,但時脈信號因展頻技術而產生的抖動現象(Jitter)卻可能過度劇烈,因此設計者必須在降低電磁干擾效應與降低時脈抖動現象之間做出取捨與妥協。一旦設計者決定展頻範圍之後,傳統的展頻時脈產生器僅能以固定的展頻範圍不間歇地運作,而時脈訊號的抖動現象也將不停的發生。Conventional electromagnetic interference prevention measures include electromagnetic interference filters, ferrite beads, chokes, metal shielding, special coatings, and RF gaskets. One of the effective ways to reduce the electromagnetic noise interference of the overall system today is to use spread spectrum technology, which is a technique for modulating the clock frequency. Even though the spread spectrum method can reduce the electromagnetic interference effect and the cost is low, the jitter phenomenon (Jitter) of the clock signal due to the spread spectrum technology may be excessively severe, so the designer must reduce the electromagnetic interference effect and reduce the clock jitter. Make trade-offs and compromises between phenomena. Once the designer determines the spread spectrum range, the traditional spread spectrum generator can only operate at a fixed spread spectrum range without interruption, and the jitter of the clock signal will continue to occur.
有鑑於此,本發明提出一種展頻時脈產生電路,可依據無線通訊模組的通訊品質參數連續且彈性地調整展頻範圍。In view of this, the present invention provides a spread spectrum clock generation circuit that continuously and flexibly adjusts the spread spectrum range according to the communication quality parameter of the wireless communication module.

The spread spectrum clock generation circuit includes a phase locked loop circuit and a spread spectrum control circuit. The phase locked loop circuit includes a voltage controlled oscillator. The voltage controlled oscillator outputs a spread spectrum clock signal according to the control voltage, and the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal depends on the control voltage. The spread spectrum control circuit is coupled to the phase locked loop circuit, generates a control current according to the communication quality parameter of the wireless communication module, and outputs the control current to the phase locked loop circuit to adjust the control voltage by using the control current. The control voltage is determined according to the control current, so that the spread frequency range of the spread spectrum clock signal is determined according to the communication quality parameter.
在本發明的一實施例中,上述的展頻控制電路包括可程式化電荷幫浦。此可程式化電荷幫浦耦接該鎖相迴路電路,依據數位控制碼決定控制電流的準位,以依據控制電流調整展頻時脈訊號的輸出頻率。In an embodiment of the invention, the spread spectrum control circuit includes a programmable charge pump. The programmable charge pump is coupled to the phase-locked loop circuit, and determines the level of the control current according to the digital control code to adjust the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal according to the control current.
基於上述,在本發明的一實施例中,展頻控制電路可依據無線通訊模組的通訊品質參數來調變控制電流,使得鎖相迴路電路的濾波器可響應於控制電流的變化來改變控制電壓。因此,在展頻時脈訊號的展頻範圍依據控制電壓而改變情況下,展頻時脈訊號的展頻範圍可響應於時變的通訊品質參數而彈性且連續的調整,以妥切地降低雜訊對無線通訊模組的干擾並減少時脈抖動現象。Based on the above, in an embodiment of the present invention, the spread spectrum control circuit can modulate the control current according to the communication quality parameter of the wireless communication module, so that the filter of the phase locked loop circuit can change the control in response to the change of the control current. Voltage. Therefore, when the spread spectrum range of the spread spectrum clock signal changes according to the control voltage, the spread spectrum range of the spread spectrum clock signal can be flexibly and continuously adjusted in response to the time varying communication quality parameter, so as to appropriately reduce Noise interferes with wireless communication modules and reduces clock jitter.

無線通訊模組12可透過天線13收發無線通訊訊號,並依據一無線通訊協定進行通訊。本發明對於無線通訊協定的種類並不限制,其例如是全球互通微波存取(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)、第三代行動通訊(3G)、第四代行動通訊(4G)、第五代行動通訊(5G)、超寬頻通訊(Ultra Wide Band,UWB)、藍芽通訊(Bluetooth,BT)、無線保真通訊(wireless fidelity,WiFi),或ZigBee通訊等。換言之,天線13基於無線通訊模組12所使用的無線通訊協定而在對應的頻帶上發射與接收無線射頻訊號。The wireless communication module 12 can transmit and receive wireless communication signals through the antenna 13 and communicate according to a wireless communication protocol. The present invention is not limited to the types of wireless communication protocols, such as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), Third Generation Mobile Communications (3G), Fourth Generation Mobile Communications (4G), and Fifth. Acting communication (5G), Ultra Wide Band (UWB), Bluetooth (BT), wireless fidelity (WiFi), or ZigBee communication. In other words, the antenna 13 transmits and receives radio frequency signals on the corresponding frequency band based on the wireless communication protocol used by the wireless communication module 12.
於一實施例中,無線通訊模組12可自行依據天線13所接收之無線訊號來估測當下的通訊品質參數。通訊品質參數例如為接收訊號強度指示(Received Signal Strength Indicator,RSSI)、訊號雜訊比(Signal to Noise Ratio,SNR)、載波雜訊比(Carrier to Noise Ratio,CNR)其中之一或其組合者。或者,於一實施例中,電子裝置10之其他元件(例如功率偵測器)可偵測天線13所接收之無線訊號的訊號特性而獲取天線13所接收之無線訊號的通訊品參數。此外,隨著通訊環境的變化,通訊品質參數為時變的。In an embodiment, the wireless communication module 12 can estimate the current communication quality parameter according to the wireless signal received by the antenna 13. The communication quality parameter is, for example, one of or a combination of a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), a Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), and a Carrier to Noise Ratio (CNR). . Alternatively, in an embodiment, other components of the electronic device 10 (eg, a power detector) can detect the signal characteristics of the wireless signal received by the antenna 13 to obtain the communication parameters of the wireless signal received by the antenna 13. In addition, as the communication environment changes, the communication quality parameters are time-varying.
展頻時脈產生電路100包括鎖相迴路電路110以及展頻控制電路120。鎖相迴路電路100包括壓控振盪器111。壓控振盪器11依據控制電壓Vc而輸出展頻時脈訊號CLKsp,而展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的輸出頻率取決於控制電壓Vc。當控制電壓Vc的電壓準位改變,展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的輸出頻率也將改變。The spread spectrum clock generation circuit 100 includes a phase locked loop circuit 110 and a spread spectrum control circuit 120. The phase locked loop circuit 100 includes a voltage controlled oscillator 111. The voltage controlled oscillator 11 outputs the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp according to the control voltage Vc, and the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp depends on the control voltage Vc. When the voltage level of the control voltage Vc changes, the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp will also change.
展頻控制電路120耦接鎖相迴路電路110,依據無線通訊模組12的通訊品質參數Qs產生控制電流Ic並輸出控制電流Ic至鎖相迴路電路110,以利用控制電流Ic來調整控制電壓Vc。換言之,控制電流Ic的電流準位係依據通訊品質參數Qs而定,致使控制電流Ic的電流準位可響應於通訊品質參數Qs的改變而改變。The spread spectrum control circuit 120 is coupled to the phase locked loop circuit 110, generates a control current Ic according to the communication quality parameter Qs of the wireless communication module 12, and outputs a control current Ic to the phase locked loop circuit 110 to adjust the control voltage Vc by using the control current Ic. . In other words, the current level of the control current Ic is determined according to the communication quality parameter Qs, so that the current level of the control current Ic can be changed in response to the change of the communication quality parameter Qs.
此外,控制電壓Vc的振幅依據控制電流Ic而定,致使展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的展頻範圍依據通訊品質參數Qs而定。也就是說,展頻控制電路120所提供的控制電流Ic可使原本為固定頻率的時脈訊號小幅度的遞增或遞減,使展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的輸出頻率於展頻範圍內變動。如此,經過展頻的展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的能量可被分散,以降低展頻時脈訊號CLKsp對無線通訊模組12的干擾。可知的,通訊品質參數將隨著通訊環境而改變。假設通訊品質足夠佳,則壓控振盪器111所引起的電磁雜訊干擾是可以忽略的。相反的,假設通訊品質不佳,則壓控振盪器111所引起的電磁雜訊干擾是不可忽略的。本實施例之展頻控制電路120依據可表示通訊品質的通訊品質參數Qs來產生對應的控制電流Ic,以隨著無線通訊模組12之通訊品質的好壞而適應性的調整展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的輸出頻率於對應的展頻範圍內變動。In addition, the amplitude of the control voltage Vc is determined according to the control current Ic, so that the spread spectrum range of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp is determined according to the communication quality parameter Qs. That is to say, the control current Ic provided by the spread spectrum control circuit 120 can increase or decrease the amplitude of the clock signal which is originally a fixed frequency, so that the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp changes within the spread frequency range. In this way, the energy of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp can be dispersed to reduce the interference of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp to the wireless communication module 12. It can be seen that the communication quality parameters will change with the communication environment. Assuming that the communication quality is good enough, the electromagnetic noise interference caused by the voltage controlled oscillator 111 is negligible. On the contrary, if the communication quality is not good, the electromagnetic noise interference caused by the voltage controlled oscillator 111 is not negligible. The spread spectrum control circuit 120 of the present embodiment generates a corresponding control current Ic according to the communication quality parameter Qs indicating the communication quality, so as to adaptively adjust the spread spectrum clock according to the communication quality of the wireless communication module 12. The output frequency of the signal CLKsp varies within the corresponding spread spectrum range.

In general, filter 116 is typically a low pass filter, but the invention is not limited thereto. The voltage controlled oscillator 111 generates the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp according to the control voltage Vc. The second frequency divider 117 is coupled between the voltage controlled oscillator 111 and the phase frequency detector 114 to divide the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp to generate a feedback clock signal CLK3.

In this embodiment, the voltage generating circuit 122 is coupled to the wireless communication module 12 to generate the first voltage signal Vdet according to the communication quality parameter Qs. Further, the voltage generating circuit 122 can output the first voltage signal Vdet according to the communication quality parameter Qs according to a conversion function, and the voltage level of the first voltage signal Vdet depends on the communication quality parameter Qs.

Because the peak-to-peak voltage value of the second voltage signal Vamp is determined according to the communication quality parameter Qs and the digital control code d1 is the result of sampling the second voltage signal Vamp, the plurality of bits of the digital control code d1 also depend on the communication quality.

The programmable charge pump 121 generates a control current Ic according to the first clock signal CLK4 and the digital control code d1. In detail, the programmable charge pump 121 is coupled to the phase locked loop circuit 110, and determines the level of the control current Ic according to the digital control code d1 to adjust the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp according to the control current Ic. For example, the programmable charge pump 121 can include a plurality of switches that are respectively switched based on corresponding bits in the digital control code d1, and the level of the control current Ic is also determined according to the switching states of the switches. .

請同時參照表1與表2,假設通訊品質參數為接收訊號強度指示符。假設接收訊號強度指示符為-70dBm時,表示無線接收訊號的強度足以抵抗干擾,可禁能展頻控制電路120調整展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的輸出頻率。具體來說,類比數位轉換器124將響應於-70dBm的RSSI而產生為(0,0,0)的數位控制碼d1。當數位控制碼d1為(0,0,0),則可程式化電荷幫浦121禁能控制電流Ic,因此控制電壓Vc實質上維持於一固定電壓,而展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的輸出頻率實質上維持於240MHz。Please refer to Table 1 and Table 2 at the same time, assuming that the communication quality parameter is the received signal strength indicator. Assuming that the received signal strength indicator is -70 dBm, indicating that the strength of the wireless received signal is sufficient to resist interference, the spread spectrum control circuit 120 can be disabled to adjust the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp. In particular, the analog to digital converter 124 will generate a digital control code d1 of (0, 0, 0) in response to an RSSI of -70 dBm. When the digital control code d1 is (0, 0, 0), the programmable charge pump 121 disables the control current Ic, so the control voltage Vc is substantially maintained at a fixed voltage, and the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp It is essentially maintained at 240MHz.
此外,假設當接收訊號強度指示符為-80dBm時,表示無線接收訊號的強度不足以抵抗干擾,可致能展頻控制電路120調整展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的輸出頻率。具體來說,類比數位轉換器124將響應於-80dBm的RSSI而產生為(1,1,0)的數位控制碼d1。當數位控制碼d1為(1,1,0),則可程式化電荷幫浦121產生對應的控制電流Ic。控制電壓Vc依據控制電流Ic而決定,而展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的輸出頻率將於展頻範圍239.4MHz~240.6MHz內變動。此時,展頻時脈訊號的干擾能量強度為-83dBm。因此,展頻後的展頻時脈訊號CLKsp所引起的雜訊干擾可降至小於RSSI(RSSI=-80dBm),從而降低展頻時脈訊號CLKsp對無線接收訊號的干擾。In addition, it is assumed that when the received signal strength indicator is -80 dBm, indicating that the strength of the wireless reception signal is insufficient to resist interference, the spread spectrum control circuit 120 can adjust the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp. In particular, the analog to digital converter 124 will generate a digital control code d1 of (1, 1, 0) in response to an RSSI of -80 dBm. When the digital control code d1 is (1, 1, 0), the programmable charge pump 121 generates a corresponding control current Ic. The control voltage Vc is determined according to the control current Ic, and the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp is varied within the spread spectrum range of 239.4 MHz to 240.6 MHz. At this time, the interference energy intensity of the spread spectrum clock signal is -83 dBm. Therefore, the noise interference caused by the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp after the spread spectrum can be reduced to less than RSSI (RSSI=-80dBm), thereby reducing the interference of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp on the wireless receiving signal.
再者,假設當接收訊號強度指示符為-90dBm時,表示無線接收訊號的強度難以抵抗干擾,可致能展頻控制電路120調整展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的輸出頻率。具體來說,類比數位轉換器124將響應於-90dBm的RSSI而產生為(1,1,1)的數位控制碼d1。當數位控制碼d1為(1,1,1),則可程式化電荷幫浦121產生對應的控制電流Ic。控制電壓Vc依據控制電流Ic而決定,而展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的輸出頻率將於展頻範圍237.6MHz~242.4MHz內變動。須特別說明的是,對應於RSSI=-80dB的展頻範圍小於對應於RSSI=-90dB的展頻範圍。然而,表1與表2僅為示範性說明,並非用以限定本發明。數位控制碼與展頻因子的對應關係以及RSSI與第一電壓訊號的對應關係可是實際應用而設計之。舉例而言,於另一實施例中,數位控制碼可以分別是(0, 0, 0, 0)、(0, 0, 0, 1)、(0, 0, 1, 1)、(0, 1, 1, 1)、(1, 1, 1, 1),且依序對應至展頻因子百分之0、百分之0.5、百分之1、百分之2。Furthermore, it is assumed that when the received signal strength indicator is -90 dBm, it indicates that the strength of the wireless received signal is difficult to resist interference, and the spread spectrum control circuit 120 can be adjusted to adjust the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp. In particular, the analog to digital converter 124 will generate a digital control code d1 of (1, 1, 1) in response to an RSSI of -90 dBm. When the digital control code d1 is (1, 1, 1), the programmable charge pump 121 generates a corresponding control current Ic. The control voltage Vc is determined according to the control current Ic, and the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp is varied within the spread spectrum range of 237.6 MHz to 242.4 MHz. It should be particularly noted that the spread spectrum range corresponding to RSSI=-80dB is smaller than the spread spectrum range corresponding to RSSI=-90dB. However, Tables 1 and 2 are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the invention. The correspondence between the digital control code and the spreading factor and the correspondence between the RSSI and the first voltage signal can be designed for practical applications. For example, in another embodiment, the digital control code can be (0, 0, 0, 0), (0, 0, 0, 1), (0, 0, 1, 1), (0, respectively. 1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 1, 1), and sequentially correspond to 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% of the spreading factor.
圖3是依據本發明一實施例所繪示的展頻時脈產生電路的運作狀態的示意圖。圖4是依據本發明一實施例所繪示的電子裝置遠離存取點的示意圖。請先參照圖4,假設具有本發明知展頻時脈產生電路100的電子裝置50與存取點40進行無線通訊,且電子裝置50隨時間的遞增而遠離存取點40。在沒有其他因素干擾的強況下,電子裝置50所偵測到的RSSI也將隨著時間的遞增而遞減。FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an operation state of a spread spectrum clock generating circuit according to an embodiment of the invention. 4 is a schematic diagram of an electronic device remote from an access point according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring first to FIG. 4, it is assumed that the electronic device 50 having the spread spectrum clock generating circuit 100 of the present invention wirelessly communicates with the access point 40, and the electronic device 50 moves away from the access point 40 as time passes. In the strong case where there is no other factor interference, the RSSI detected by the electronic device 50 will also decrease with time.
具體來說,在時間點T1,電子裝置50最靠近存取點40,並偵測到RSSI等於R1。電子裝置50逐漸遠離存取點40,因此分別在時間點T2以及T3偵測到RSSI=R2以及RSSI=R3。在時間點T4,電子裝置50最遠離存取點40,並偵測到RSSI=R4。也就是說,各個時間點T1~T4所對應之RSSI之間的關係可表示為R1>R2>R3>R4。Specifically, at time point T1, the electronic device 50 is closest to the access point 40 and detects that the RSSI is equal to R1. The electronic device 50 gradually moves away from the access point 40, so RSSI=R2 and RSSI=R3 are detected at time points T2 and T3, respectively. At time point T4, the electronic device 50 is farthest from the access point 40 and detects RSSI = R4. That is to say, the relationship between the RSSIs corresponding to the respective time points T1 to T4 can be expressed as R1>R2>R3>R4.
請再參照圖3,依據圖1與圖2的說明與教示可知,電子裝置50的展頻時脈產生電路100可依據各個時間點的RSSI決定禁能或致能展頻控制電路120,而據以調整或不調整展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的輸出頻率。在時間區間T1~T2,RSSI從R1開始減少,但在時間區間T1~T2內偵測到的RSSI皆大於一預設門檻值。因此,在時間區間T1~T2,展頻控制電路120被禁能(控制電流Ic被禁能),而展頻因子也響應於展頻控制電路120的禁能而為百分之0。也就是說,展頻時脈訊號CLKsp於時間區間T1~T2內並沒有經過展頻處理,因此展頻時脈訊號CLKsp也無因展頻處理而生的抖動現象。Referring to FIG. 3, according to the description and teachings of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the spread spectrum clock generating circuit 100 of the electronic device 50 can determine the disable or enable the spread spectrum control circuit 120 according to the RSSI at each time point. To adjust or not adjust the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp. In the time interval T1~T2, the RSSI decreases from R1, but the RSSI detected in the time interval T1~T2 is greater than a preset threshold. Therefore, in the time interval T1 to T2, the spread spectrum control circuit 120 is disabled (the control current Ic is disabled), and the spreading factor is also 0% in response to the disablement of the spread spectrum control circuit 120. That is to say, the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp has not undergone the spread spectrum processing in the time interval T1~T2, so the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp has no jitter phenomenon due to the spread spectrum processing.
在時間區間T2~T3,依據時間區間T2~T3內偵測到的RSSI,展頻控制電路120被致能來調整展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的輸出頻率。因此,在時間區間T2~T3,展頻控制電路120被致能且產生對應的控制電流Ic,而展頻因子也響應於控制電流Ic的準位而為百分之0.5。也就是說,展頻時脈訊號CLKsp於時間區間T2~T3內經過展頻處理,因此展頻時脈訊號CLKsp也存在因展頻處理而生的抖動現象。In the time interval T2~T3, the spread spectrum control circuit 120 is enabled to adjust the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp according to the RSSI detected in the time interval T2~T3. Therefore, in the time interval T2 to T3, the spread spectrum control circuit 120 is enabled and generates a corresponding control current Ic, and the spreading factor is also 0.5 percent in response to the level of the control current Ic. That is to say, the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp is subjected to the spread spectrum processing in the time interval T2~T3, so the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp also has a jitter phenomenon due to the spread spectrum processing.
在時間區間T3~T4,依據時間區間T3~T4內偵測到的RSSI,展頻控制電路120被致能來調整展頻時脈訊號CLKsp的輸出頻率。因此,在時間區間T3~T4,展頻控制電路120被致能且產生對應的控制電流Ic,而展頻因子也響應於控制電流Ic的準位而為百分之1。也就是說,展頻時脈訊號CLKsp於時間區間T3~T4內經過展頻處理,因此展頻時脈訊號CLKsp也存在因展頻處理而生的抖動現象。In the time interval T3~T4, the spread spectrum control circuit 120 is enabled to adjust the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp according to the RSSI detected in the time interval T3~T4. Therefore, in the time interval T3~T4, the spread spectrum control circuit 120 is enabled and generates a corresponding control current Ic, and the spreading factor is also 1% in response to the level of the control current Ic. That is to say, the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp is subjected to the spread spectrum processing in the time interval T3~T4, so the spread spectrum clock signal CLKsp also has a jitter phenomenon due to the spread spectrum processing.
以下列舉一範例說明展頻控制電路的操作狀態,圖5是依據本發明一實施例所繪示的展頻時脈產生電路的操作方法的流程圖。於此,假設預設門檻值TH1>預設門檻值TH2>預設門檻值TH3。請參照圖5,於步驟S501,判斷通訊品質參數是否大於預設門檻值TH1。當步驟S501判斷為是,接續步驟S502,展頻時脈訊號的輸出頻率實質上維持於一固定頻率。當步驟S501判斷為是,接續步驟S503,判斷判斷通訊品質參數是否小於預設門檻值TH2。若步驟S503判斷為否,回到步驟S502。若步驟S503判斷為是,接續步驟S504,判斷判斷通訊品質參數是否小於預設門檻值TH3。若步驟S503判斷為否,於步驟S505,依據第一展頻範圍調整展頻時脈訊號的輸出頻率。若步驟S503判斷為是,於步驟S506,依據第二展頻範圍調整展頻時脈訊號的輸出頻率。The following is an example to illustrate the operation state of the spread spectrum control circuit. FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the operation method of the spread spectrum clock generation circuit according to an embodiment of the invention. Here, it is assumed that the preset threshold TH1>the preset threshold TH2>the preset threshold TH3. Referring to FIG. 5, in step S501, it is determined whether the communication quality parameter is greater than a preset threshold TH1. When the determination in step S501 is YES, in step S502, the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal is substantially maintained at a fixed frequency. When the determination in step S501 is YES, proceeding to step S503, it is judged whether the communication quality parameter is smaller than the preset threshold TH2. If the determination in step S503 is negative, the process returns to step S502. If the determination in step S503 is YES, then step S504 is followed to determine whether the communication quality parameter is less than the preset threshold TH3. If the determination in step S503 is no, in step S505, the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal is adjusted according to the first spread frequency range. If the determination in step S503 is YES, in step S506, the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal is adjusted according to the second spreading range.
綜上所述,在本發明的一實施例中,展頻控制電路可依據無線通訊模組的通訊品質參數而被致能或禁能來調整展頻時脈訊號的輸出頻率。此外,展頻範圍也可依據無線通訊模組的通訊品質參數而決定。因此,展頻時脈訊號的展頻範圍可響應於時變的通訊品質參數而彈性且連續的調整,以妥切地降低雜訊對無線通訊模組的干擾並減少時脈抖動現象。如此,時脈抖動現象的時間與程度可依據實際需求而調整,因而提昇電路的整體穩定度。In summary, in an embodiment of the invention, the spread spectrum control circuit can be enabled or disabled according to the communication quality parameter of the wireless communication module to adjust the output frequency of the spread spectrum clock signal. In addition, the spread spectrum range can also be determined according to the communication quality parameters of the wireless communication module. Therefore, the spread spectrum range of the spread spectrum clock signal can be flexibly and continuously adjusted in response to time-varying communication quality parameters to properly reduce noise interference to the wireless communication module and reduce clock jitter. In this way, the time and extent of the clock jitter phenomenon can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby improving the overall stability of the circuit.
