TPS54A24: RT/CKL Sink/Source Current Spec.

Part Number: TPS54A24


I want to use sync. function.

Sync OSC has +/-4mA capability.

 Amplitude is 3.3V-0V

 Frequency is 1MHz

 Duty is 50%.

Please tell me RT/CKL Sink/Source Current Spec.

  • The RT/CLK pin will only source current when it is in RT mode. In RT mode, the pin regulates to ~0.5V and the current through the resistor sets the switching frequency. This current being sourced is quite small as with the minimum RT/CLK resistance of 30.1 kΩ results in only 16.6 µA. As soon as CLK source pulls the RT/CLK pin high, the circuit sourcing current to regulate the pin voltage turns off and the pin is high impedance. A source with +/-4 mA shouldn't have any issue driving the pin. External components should be the only thing that loads the CLK source.

    Let me know if you have any further questions.
