SYNCK of TPS54610

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS54610

what happens, if the sync frequency is less than the free running frequency?

e.g.

sync frequency: 200kHz

free running frequency: 500kHz

 

Is it deterministic that the regulator switches over to the higher free running frequency?

  • For TPS54610 the sync pulse terminates the PWM ramp charging.  So in your example, you will get 2 500 kHz pulses folowed by a 1 Mhz pulse.  The SYNC frequency always has to be higher than the free running frequency for proper operation.
