PRODUCTION DATA
The LP8733xx device contains a CLKIN input to synchronize the switching clock of the buck regulators with the external clock. The block diagram of the clocking and PLL module is shown in Figure 7-5. Depending on the EN_PLL bit in the PLL_CTRL register and the external clock availability, the external clock is selected and interrupt is generated as shown in Table 7-2. The interrupt can be masked with the SYNC_CLK_MASK bit in the TOP_MASK_1 register. The nominal frequency of the external input clock is set by the EXT_CLK_FREQ[4:0] bits in the PLL_CTRL register, and it can be from 1 MHz to 24 MHz with 1-MHz steps. The external clock must be inside accuracy limits (–30%/+10%) of the selected frequency for valid clock detection.
The SYNC_CLK_INT interrupt in the INT_TOP_1 register is also generated in cases where the external clock is expected but is not available. These cases occur when EN_PLL is 1 during start-up (read OTP-to-standby transition) and during Buck regulator enable (standby-to-active transition).
