Abstract
A digital frequency jittering circuit for varying a switching frequency of a power supply is disclosed. The digital frequency jittering circuit includes a random data generator, an analog to digital functional module, and a digital to analog functional module. The random data generator has an oscillator for generating an oscillating signal having the switching frequency; a delay module for delaying the oscillating signal by first and second delay amounts to generate first and second delayed signals, wherein the first delay amount is not equal to the second delay amount; and a phase error detecting module for detecting an phase error between the first and the second delayed signals to generate a random data. The analog to digital functional module converts the random data into a digital random value. The digital to analog functional module varies the switching frequency of the oscillating signal according to the digital random value.
