7.3.4 Oscillator and Sync Capability

The LM5119 switching frequency is set by a single external resistor connected between the RT pin and the AGND pin (RT). The resistor must be located very close to the device and connected directly to the pins of the IC (RT and AGND). To set a desired switching frequency (fSW) of each channel, the resistor can be calculated with Equation 1.

Equation 1. LM5119 30124023.gif

where

  • RT is in ohms
  • fSW is in hertz

The frequency fSW is the output switching frequency of each channel. The internal oscillator runs at twice the switching frequency and an internal frequency divider interleaves the two channels with 180° phase shift between PWM pulses at the HO pins.

The RT pin can be used to synchronize the internal oscillator to an external clock. The internal oscillator can be synchronized by AC coupling a positive edge into the RT pin. The voltage at the RT pin is nominally 1.25 V and the voltage at the RT pin must exceed 4 V to trip the internal synchronization pulse detector. A 5-V amplitude signal and 100-pF coupling capacitor are recommended. Synchronizing at greater than twice the free-running frequency may result in abnormal behavior of the pulse width modulator. Also, note that the output switching frequency of each channel is one-half the applied synchronization frequency.
