8.2.2.11 Dither Capacitor

The dither capacitor sets the modulation frequency of the frequency dithering around the nominal switching frequency. A larger CDITH results in lower modulation frequency. For proper operation, the modulation frequency (FMOD) must be much lower than the switching frequency. Use Equation 29 to select CDITH for the target modulation frequency.

Equation 29. GUID-3E8D6180-5772-46A4-8830-5AB8369AE920-low.gif

For the current design dithering is not being implemented. Therefore a 0-Ω resistor from the DITH pin to AGND disables this feature.
