ABSTRACT:
A circuit and method for controlling a spread spectrum transition are presented comprising a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may be configured to generate a clock signal in response to (i) a reference signal, (ii) a sequence of spread spectrum ROM codes, and (iii) a command signal. The second circuit may be configured to synchronize the command signal to a feedback signal. The sequence of spread spectrum ROM codes may be generated according to a predetermined mathematical formula and optimized in accordance with predetermined criteria.
