Abstract
An apparatus for generating a spread-spectrum signal based on an input signal whose frequency may vary substantially. The apparatus is particularly suited for controlling the frequency of the modulation in response to wide variations of the frequency of the input signal. This prevents the modulation frequency from deviating into an undesired frequency range which could cause adverse operational effects. The apparatus includes a detector adapted to generate a first signal related to the frequency of the input signal, a controller adapted to generate a second signal for controlling a frequency of a modulation signal based on the first signal, a modulation signal generator adapted to generate the modulation signal based on the second signal, and a spread-spectrum signal generator adapted to generate the spread-spectrum signal based on the modulation signal.
