PRODUCT PREVIEW Information. Product in design phase of development. Subject to change or discontinuance without notice.
Systems with periodic switching signals may generate a large amount of switching noise in a set of narrowband frequencies (the switching frequency and its harmonics). The usual solution to reduce noise coupling is to add EMI-filters and shields to the boards. The TPS65653-Q1 has register selectable spread-spectrum mode which minimizes the need for output filters, ferrite beads, or chokes. In spread spectrum mode, the switching frequency varies around the center frequency, reducing the EMI emissions radiated by the converter and associated passive components and PCB traces (see Figure 6). This feature is available only when internal RC oscillator is used (EN_PLL bit is 0 in PLL_CTRL register), and it is enabled with the EN_SPREAD_SPEC bit in CONFIG register, and it affects both buck cores.
