TPS61030: recommended sync circuit design

Part Number: TPS61030

I think I damaged my chip by having the sync powered before the chip was powered, is there any recommended circuit for the sync pin when using it as a sync clock-  can you ac couple, and what is the ideal level.  What happens if the sync clock goes away?

  • Hi Ajayt,

    What's the high voltage level of SYNC when the chip was damaged? The maximum rating for SYNC pin is 7V. Have you tried test it again on a new EVM?
    Applying an external clock with a duty cycle between 30% and 70% at the SYNC pin forces the converter to operate at the applied clock frequency. The external frequency has to be in the range of about ±20% of the nominal internal frequency.
    SYNC input low voltage maximum value is 0.2VBAT, input high voltage minimum value is 0.8VBAT.
