9.3.2.2 Pulse-Dependent MODE/SYNC Pin Control

Most systems that require more than a single mode of operation from the LM62440-Q1 are controlled by digital circuitry such as a microprocessor. These systems can generate dynamic signals easily but have difficulty generating multi-level signals. Pulse-Dependent MODE/SYNC pin control is useful with these systems.

To initiate Pulse-Dependent MODE/SYNC pin control, a valid sync signal must be applied. Upon completion of the fourth pulse in a valid synchronization pulse train, the SYNC mode pin operates in Pulse-Dependent MODE/SYNC control mode, shown in Figure 9-3 and Figure 9-4. The only way to return to Level-Dependent MODE/SYNC control is to restart the LM62440-Q1.

Once Pulse-Dependent MODE/SYNC control has been initiated, Table 9-2 shows a summary of the pulse dependent mode selection settings.

Table 9-2 Pulse-Dependent Mode Selection Settings
MODE/SYNC Input Mode
> VMODE_H FPWM with spread spectrum
< VMODE_L Auto mode with spread spectrum
Synchronization Clock SYNC mode without spread spectrum
> VMODE_H AND Double Pulse (Figure 9-6) FPWM without spread spectrum
< VMODE_L AND Double Pulse (Figure 9-7) Auto mode without spread spectrum

Figure 9-5 shows the transition between auto mode and FPWM mode while in Pulse-Dependent MODE/SYNC control. The LM62440-Q1 transitions to a new mode of operation after the time, tMODE.

Two positive going pulses can be used to turn off spread spectrum in auto and FPWM modes. The two positive pulses must be consistent with the characteristics of a valid sync signal. Figure 9-6 through Figure 9-9 show the only waveforms that result in spread spectrum being turned off. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics for more information about the timing specifications.

To enter the SYNC mode, the valid synchronization signal must be present for 2048 cycles.

If MODE/SYNC voltage becomes constant longer than tMODE, the LM62440-Q1 enters either auto mode or FPWM mode. At this time, spread spectrum is turned on and MODE/SYNC operates in Pulse-Dependent mode.
