PRODUCTION DATA
Normally, the IC switches in fixed frequency which can be adjusted through FSW_SYNC pin. The charger also supports frequency dithering to improve EMI performance and help pass the IEC-CISPR 32 specification. Dithering is disabled by default as EN_DITHER=00b at startup. Dithering can be enabled by setting EN_DITHER=01/10/11b. The switching frequency is not fixed when dithering is enabled and varies within determined range by setting EN_DITHER to 01/10/11b, which corresponds to ±2%/4%/6% switching frequency variation. A larger dithering range results in a smaller EMI noise peak, but a larger dithering range also causes slightly more output voltage ripple. Therefore, the dithering frequency range selection is a trade-off between EMI noise peak and output voltage ripple and we recommend you to select the lowest dithering range which can pass IEC-CISPR 32 specification. The patented dithering pattern can improve EMI performance in the switching frequency up to 30MHz range which covers the entire conductive EMI noise range.
Note that the Dithering feature does not work if an external clock is provided.
