Abstract
Spread spectrum clock generators and electronic devices including the same are provided. A spread spectrum clock generator may include an oscillation circuit that is configured to receive a first spread spectrum clock signal and to output an average frequency signal corresponding to an average frequency of the first spread spectrum clock signal. The spread spectrum clock generator may also include a phase lock loop that is configured to receive the average frequency signal and to generate a second spread spectrum clock signal. The spread spectrum clock generator may further include a control circuit that is configured to receive the first and second spread spectrum clock signals and to output a phase lock loop control signal to control the phase lock loop such that an average frequency of the second spread spectrum clock signal approaches the average frequency of the first spread spectrum clock signal.
