6.3.5.5 PWM Frequency

The device allows for a configurable PWM frequency set by register CHx_fC_PWM. In addition, it offers a spread spectrum feature (CHx_fSS_SEL) that adds a low frequency dither to the center PWM frequency. The spread percentage [0%, 5%, 10%, 20%] and type of dither (pseudo random vs triangular) is configurable.

Note:

The PWM frequency set by CHx_fC_PWM is applicable in Internal Regulation Mode and Fixed Frequency, Variable Duty Cycle Mode.
