SNVU588A December 2017 – January 2022 TPS40345
The TPS40345EVM-353 is designed with a frequency spread spectrum (FSS) enable jumper (JP1) using a 0.1-inch spacing header and shunt. Installing a shunt in the JP1 position connects the EN/SS pin to BP via a 267-kΩ resistor (R10) to enable frequency spread spectrum.
FSS modulates the switching frequency to ±10% of the nominal value at 30 kHz to reduce EMI at the switching frequency and its harmonics, however there may be a 30-kHz component to the output ripple (see Figure 6-6).
The TPS40345EVM-353 does not dynamically monitor the JP1 status for programming FSS. The TPS40345EVM-353 must be disabled via JP2 or powered down by reducing VIN to less than 3 V to remove or install JP1.
