PWM Spread Spectrum Register
This register can only be written if bits WPSWS3 and WPHWS3 are cleared in the PWM Write Protection Status Register.
Only the first 16 bits (channel counter size) are significant.

Spread Spectrum Limit Value
The spread spectrum limit value defines the range for the spread spectrum counter. It is introduced in order to achieve constant varying PWM period for the output waveform.
Spread Spectrum Counter Mode
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 |
Triangular mode. The spread spectrum counter starts to count from -SPRD when the channel 0 is enabled and counts upwards at each PWM period. When it reaches +SPRD, it restarts to count from -SPRD again. |
| 1 |
Random mode. The spread spectrum counter is loaded with a new random value at each PWM period. This random value is uniformly distributed and is between -SPRD and +SPRD. |
