   There is a mail from Bob's mailbox in Electronic Design criticizing the
spread-spectrum clock scheme from analog point of view.
http://www.planetee.com/planetee/servlet/DisplayDocument?ArticleID=12819
   However, Bob Pease did not explicitly show his opinion and it's not likely
he's in this "all-digital" forum.
   As a digital designer of communication system, the scheme is probably
the last straw I will grab to pass the EMI verification, because the jitter it
induces may even give me much more headache to make the design
functioning.
   Although I totally agree the Hershey's is delicious 8-)
