7.4.3 External Clock Synchronization

The TPS61378-Q1 supports external clock synchronization with a range of 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz. The external clock needs to be within -+20% of the setting frequency to ensure a reliable synchronization. The TPS61378-Q1 remains in forced PWM mode and operates in CCM across the entire load range if the oscillator is synchronized by an external clock. The spread spectrum feature is disabled when external synchronization is used.
