PRODUCTION DATA
The TPSM63606E includes pseudo-random spread spectrum (PRSS) modulation that provides a ±2% spread of the switching frequency and its harmonics. PRSS spreads the switching energy smoothly across higher-frequency bands, improving both conducted and radiated EMI performance, but is low enough to limit unwanted subharmonic emissions below the switching frequency.
The TPSM63606E uses a cycle-to-cycle frequency hopping method based on a linear feedback shift register (LFSR). This intelligent pseudo-random generator limits cycle-to-cycle frequency changes to optimize output ripple. The pseudo-random pattern repeats at less than 1.5 Hz, which is below the audio band. Spread spectrum is disabled when the module is synchronized to an external clock or when the switching frequency decreases to maintain regulation when operating in or close to dropout.
