6.3.14 Device Configuration (CONFIG)

The LM708x0 can be configured for operation in Standalone Mode (single device) or for operation in single output interleaved mode (two devices) for paralleling the outputs of two devices for high-current applications. When operating in interleaved mode, one of the two devices has to be configured as a primary device while the other device has to be configured as a secondary device. There is also the option to enable or disable the DRSS function as detailed in Table 6-2.

During device startup, the CONFIG pin is sampled and latched. The configuration cannot be changed "on the fly". The LM708x0 input voltage must be recycled or EN pin toggled before the device can be reconfigured. Figure 6-5 shows the configuration timing diagram.

When the DRSS function is enabled, the LM708x0 cannot be synchronized to an external clock.
