PRODUCTION DATA.
Phase shift PWM scheme allows delaying the time when each LED driver is active. When the LED drivers are not activated simultaneously, the peak load current from the boost output is greatly decreased. This reduces the ripple seen on the boost output and allows smaller output capacitors. Reduced ripple also reduces the output ceramic capacitor audible ringing. PSPWM scheme also increases the load frequency seen on the boost output six times and therefore transfers the possible audible noise to the frequencies outside of the audible range.
Description of the PSPWM mode is seen inTable 6. PSPWM mode is set with <PS_MODE[2:0]> bits.
