Abstract:
Provided is a technique that can generate a spread spectrum clock signal in all of an upper-spread mode, a down-spread mode, and a center-spread mode. A spread spectrum clock generator ( 2 ) spreads a spectrum of a signal with a predetermined carrier frequency to generate a spread spectrum clock signal under the control of a control unit ( 13 ). The control unit includes carrier frequency correction control means ( 13 b ). The carrier frequency correction control means shifts the predetermined carrier frequency to generate, from one spread mode, a spread spectrum clock signal of another pseudo spread mode.

Claim (Index 10):
The spread spectrum clock generation method according to  claim 9 ,\n wherein the desired spread mode is any one of a down-spread mode, a center-spread mode, and an upper-spread mode, and the spread spectrum clock generation method further includes at least one of a first control step of shifting the carrier frequency to a frequency that is lower than the predetermined carrier frequency in a case in which the spread spectrum clock signal of a pseudo center-spread mode is generated from the down-spread mode, the spread spectrum clock signal of a pseudo upper-spread mode is generated from the down-spread mode, or the spread spectrum clock signal of the pseudo upper-spread mode is generated from the center-spread mode and a second control step of shifting the carrier frequency to a frequency that is higher than the predetermined carrier frequency in a case in which the spread spectrum clock signal of pseudo down-spread mode is generated from the center-spread mode, the spread spectrum clock signal of the pseudo down-spread mode is generated from the upper-spread mode, or the spread spectrum clock signal of the pseudo center-spread mode is generated from the upper-spread mode.
