PRODUCTION DATA
The LM5088 oscillator frequency is set by a single external resistor connected between the RT pin and the GND pin. The RT resistor must be located very close to the device. To set a desired oscillator frequency (fSW), the necessary value of RT resistor can be calculated from the following equation:
The RT pin can also be used to synchronize the internal oscillator to an external clock. The internal oscillator is synchronized to an external clock by AC coupling a positive edge into the RT/SYNC pin. The RT/SYNC pin voltage must exceed 3 V to trip the internal clock synchronization pulse detector. The free-running frequency should be set nominally 15% below the external clock frequency and the pulse width applied to the RT/SYNC pin must be less than 150 ns. Synchronization to an external clock more than twice the free-running frequency can produce abnormal behavior of the pulse-width modulator.
