SLVSD46A November 2017 – December 2021 TPS55160-Q1 , TPS55162-Q1 , TPS55165-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS55160-Q1 and TPS55165-Q1 devices have a spread-spectrum feature to modulate the switching frequency through a pseudo-random algorithm.
This spread-spectrum feature is enabled and disabled through the SS_EN pin. When the SS_EN pin is unconnected, the spread-spectrum feature is enabled. The SS_EN pin is internally pulled up with a pullup current between 100 µA and 200 µA. When the SS_EN pin is connected to ground, the spread-spectrum feature is disabled.
This feature can only be enabled when the device is in normal mode with step-down operation. This feature cannot be enabled in low-power mode.
