Spread Spectrum

Spread spectrum is configurable using the CONFIG pin. Spread spectrum eliminates peak emissions at specific frequencies by spreading these peaks across a wider range of frequencies than a part with fixed-frequency operation. The TPSM6440X implements a modulation pattern designed to reduce low frequency-conducted emissions from the first few harmonics of the switching frequency. The pattern can also help reduce the higher harmonics that are more difficult to filter, which can fall in the FM band. These harmonics often couple to the environment through electric fields around the switch node and inductor. The TPSM6440X uses a ±10% (typical) spread of frequencies which can spread energy smoothly across the FM and TV bands. The device implements Dual Random Spread Spectrum (DRSS). DRSS is a combination of a triangular frequency spreading pattern and pseudo-random frequency hopping. The combination allows the spread spectrum to be very effective at spreading the energy at the following:

  • Fundamental switching harmonic with slow triangular pattern
  • High frequency harmonics with additional pseudo-random jumps at the switching frequency
The advantage of DRSS is the equivalent harmonic attenuation in the upper frequencies with a smaller fundamental frequency deviation. This feature reduces the amount of input current and output voltage ripple that is introduced at the modulating frequency.

The spread spectrum is only available while the clocks of the TPSM6440X are free running at the natural frequency. Any of the following conditions overrides the clock and can interfere with spread spectrum:

  • The clock is slowed due to operation at low input voltage. This is operation in dropout.
  • The clock is slowed under light load in auto mode. Note that if the device is operating in FPWM mode, spread spectrum is active, even if there is no load.
  • The clock is slowed due to high input-to-output voltage ratio. This mode of operation is expected if on-time reaches minimum on-time. See the Section 6.5.
  • The clock is synchronized with an external clock.
