7.3.5 Synchronization (SYNC)

The TPSM41615 device can be synchronized to an external clock. When synchronizing, the external clock signal must be applied to the SYNC pin before the device reaches its VIN UVLO threshold. In a stand-alone configuration, the external clock frequency must be within ±20% of the frequency set by the RRT resistor.

In stackable configuration: (see Section 7.3.6.1.1 for information on configuring the SYNC pins.)

  1. When there is no external system clock applied, the SYNC pin of the primary device should be configured as Sync-Out and the SYNC pin of the secondary device should be configured as Sync-In. Connecting the SYNC pins of the primary and any secondary devices will synchronize all devices to the frequency of the primary.
  2. When an external system clock is applied, the SYNC pin of the primary and secondary device should be configured as Sync-In and both devices will synchronize to the external system clock.
