LM46002 SYNC pin question in inverting application

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM46002

Hi there

I am looking into this demo SCH of TI, for inverting application of LM46002.

My question is , why there is an 0 ohm resistor R5 placed between SYNC pin and -Vout? I thought the capacitor C10 as an AC coupling is enough. 

Could you please help explain? Thanks.

    Hello,
    The SYNC pin needs to be connected to the IC ground when not used. The '0' ohm resistor is a place holder to do just that. If you would like to use the frequency sync feature, then you would need to remove the resistor.

    Hi , Akshay.

    In Figure 41 of Datasheet, there is a Rterm. Could I think this resistor have two functions?: (1)high-speed termination when external sync clock appears, and (2) pull-down to GND when sync signal disappears.

    Generally what's the value of this resistor? 50-100ohm?


    Thanks!
