ADVANCE INFORMATION
The low frequency triangular modulation profiles are pin-selectable. The standard low-frequency modulation profile spreads the switching frequency by ±5% with a 12kHz modulation frequency while the wide low frequency modulation profile spreads the switching frequency by ±10% with a 6kHz modulation frequency.
Spread spectrum works by converting a narrowband signal into a wideband signal which spreads the energy over multiple frequencies. Industry standards require different spectrum analyzer resolution bandwidth (RBW) settings for different frequency bands. The RBW has an impact on the spread spectrum performance. For example, the CISPR-25 requires 9kHz RBW for the 150kHz to 30MHz frequency band. For frequencies greater than 30MHz, the required RBW is 120kHz. DRSS is able to simultaneously improve the EMI performance in the high and low RBWs with the low frequency triangular modulation and high-frequency cycle-by-cycle pseudo-random modulation. In the low-frequency band (150kHz – 30MHz), the DRSS function can reduce the conducted emissions by as much as 15dBμV, and in the high-frequency band (30MHz – 108MHz) by as much as 5dBμV. The DRSS function is disabled when an external clock is applied to the MODE / SYNC pin.
