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 should be in the range of 20% to 30% higher
than its programmed free-run frequency. The clock frequency at the SYNC pin replaces the master clock
generated by the oscillator circuit. Pulling the SYNC pin low programs the TPS4005x to freely run at the
frequency programmed by R
T
.
