7.3.3 Switching Frequency and Synchronization

A resistor from the RT pin to AGNG sets the switching frequency (fSW). The RRT resistor value is calculated in Equation 1 for switching frequencies below 800 kHz. For switching frequencies above 800 kHz, refer to Table 1 for RRT resistor values.

Equation 1. TPS40425 EQ_1.gif

where

  • RRT is the resistor from RT pin to AGND, in Ω
  • ƒSW is the desired switching frequency, in Hz

The switching frequency during 3-phase operation is 1.33 times of that at 1-, 2-, or 4-phase operation with the same RT resistor value. Use Equation 2 to calculate the RT resistor value for 3-phase operation.

Equation 2. TPS40425 EQ_2.gif

where

  • RRT is the resistor from RT pin to AGND, in Ω
  • ƒSW is the desired switching frequency, in Hz

Table 1. Setting the Switching Frequency

TIMING RESISTANCE
RRT (kΩ)		 SWITCHING FREQUENCY
ƒSW (kHz)
11 1520
11.8 1450
12.4 1400
13 1370
15 1208
20 948
24.9 776

The accuracy of the frequency setting is ±10%. For 3-phase and 4-phase applications, the RT resistors should be identical for both the controllers. In 3-phase and 4-phase applications, the device achieves clock and phase synchronization between the two controllers by connecting the SYNC pins and PHSET pins of the master controller to the corresponding pins on the slave controller. Phase configuration indicating number of phases is set according to the PMBus manufacturer specific command MFR_SPECIFIC_22 (E6h).

The switching frequency can be synchronized by an external clock on the SYNC pin. The frequency of the SYNC signal must be 4 times the switching frequency during 1-, 2-, or 4-phase operation, and must be 3 times the switching frequency during 3-phase operation. The SYNC signal must be a square waveform with 50% duty cycle. The high-level threshold must be above 2 V, and the low-level threshold must be below 0.8 V. The change on SYNC and PHSET setting occurs only after a power re-cycle.
