7.3.7 Synchronizing to an External Supply

The TPS4005x can be synchronized to an external clock through the SYNC pin. Synchronization occurs on the falling edge of the SYNC signal. The synchronization frequency must be in the range of 20% to 30% higher than its programmed free-run frequency. The clock frequency at the SYNC pin replaces the controller clock generated by the oscillator circuit. Pulling the SYNC pin low programs the TPS4005x to freely run at the frequency programmed by RT.

The higher synchronization must be factored in when programming the PWM ramp generator circuit. If the PWM ramp is interrupted by the SYNC pulse, a UVLO condition is declared and the PWM becomes disabled. Typically, this is of concern under low-line conditions only. In any case, RKFF needs to be adjusted for the higher switching frequency. In order to specify the correct value for RKFF at the synchronizing frequency, calculate a dummy value for RT that would cause the oscillator to run at the synchronizing frequency. Do not use this value of RT in the design.

Equation 9. GUID-869F999D-2E03-46BD-A9F1-44101EDC6D99-low.gif

where

  • fSYNC is the synchronizing frequency in kHz.

Use the value of RT(dummy) to calculate the value for RKFF.

Equation 10. GUID-981A8AB4-5D75-4B44-8B45-F31178061AF2-low.gif

where

  • RT(dummy) is in kΩ.

This value of RKFF ensures that UVLO is not engaged when operating at the synchronization frequency.
