What is Spread-spectrum clocking (SSC)?
Slowly varying a clock's frequency slightly to spread electromagnetic emission energy across a wider band and lower its peaks.
Field: I/O Interfaces & Buses
Spread-spectrum clocking (SSC) in the explanations
SSC slowly sweeps the clock frequency up and down by about 0.5%, spreading the noise energy over neighboring frequencies and lowering the peaks.
