Abstract
The invention relates to an electronic device that includes a plurality of buffers and a phase locked loop. For each buffer a fractional divider is provided which is coupled to receive the output from the phase locked loop and configured to feed a divided output signal to a respective buffer. A spread spectrum clock control logic stage in the spread spectrum clock (SSC) is provided which is configured to individually adjust a value of the division of each fractional divider in order to individually and independently modulate the output signal of each fractional divider according to a spread spectrum modulation scheme.
