7.3.4 Single-Output Dual-Phase Operation

For single-output, dual-phase operation, two LM656x0-Q1 devices are required. Additional phases cannot be added. Configure the first device as a primary device and the second device as a secondary device per Device Configuration. This action disables the feedback error amplifier of the secondary device and places feedback error amplifier into a high-impedance state. As shown in Figure 7-3, connect the FB pin of the secondary device to VCC. Furthermore, connect the COMP pins of the primary and secondary devices together with minimal trace length. Add an external compensation network near the primary device. Internal compensation feature is not supported when operating in dual-phase configuration.

The CONFIG / CLKOUT pin of the primary device must be connected to the MODE / SYNC pin of the secondary device. The CLKOUT signal from the primary device is 180° out-of-phase and facilitates the interleaved operation. When operating in dual-phase configuration, both devices need to be enabled at the exact same time for start-up.

When configured for dual-phase operation, the DRSS / MODECOMM pin conveys the mode information from the primary device to the secondary device. A MODECOMM high signal from the primary device forces the secondary device to operate in FPWM mode. A MODECOMM low signal from the primary device forces the secondary device to operate in PFM mode. MODECOMM pins of the primary and secondary devices must be tied together. The SS pins of both primary and secondary devices must also be tied together for fault communication.
