Abstract
This disclosure provides an apparatus for generating a spread-spectrum clock, which comprises: a multi-phase clock generator generating a pre-determined number of first clock signals having substantially identical period and different phases; a spread spectrum clock controller producing an instruction signal according to a first pre-determined spread spectrum target; and a clock selector receiving the instruction signal and dynamically selecting a clock signal from the first clock signals according to the instruction signal so as to produce a first spread spectrum signal; wherein the first spread spectrum signal has a spread spectrum corresponding to the first pre-determined spread spectrum target.
