8.2.2.9 SYNCHRONIZATION AND MODE

The SYNC pin allows you to synchronize the converter to an external clock voltage (SYNC). The pin also allows the selection between two modes. The following are the selectable modes:

  • Forced pulse width modulation (FPWM) operation, which operates at a fixed frequency at all loads in typical operation
  • Auto mode which automatically switches to pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads to improve light-load efficiency
Connect the SYNC pin to VCC through a 10 kOhm resistor for FPWM. Connect to ground for PFM. You can also apply a clock signal to synchronize the switching frequency to an external clock. See Section 7.3.4 for more information.
