8.3.5 Oscillator and PWM Ramp

The oscillator frequency can be set to internally fixed values of 350 kHz or 550 kHz using the SYNC pin as a static digital input. If a different frequency of operation is required for the application, the oscillator frequency can be externally adjusted from 280 to 700 kHz by connecting a resistor between the RT pin and AGND and floating the SYNC pin. The switching frequency is approximated by the following equation, where R is the resistance from RT to AGND:

Equation 3. TPS54610 Q_sw_r_lvs398.gif

External synchronization of the PWM ramp is possible over the frequency range of 330 kHz to 700 kHz by driving a synchronization signal into SYNC and connecting a resistor from RT to AGND. Choose a resistor between the RT and AGND which sets the free running frequency to 80% of the synchronization signal. Table 1 summarizes the frequency selection configurations:

Table 1. Switching Frequency/Synchronization Configuration

SWITCHING FREQUENCY SYNC PIN RT PIN
350 kHz, internally set Float or AGND Float
550 kHz, internally set ≥ 2.5 V Float
Externally set 280 kHz to 700 kHz Float R = 180 kΩ to 68 kΩ
Externally synchronized frequency Synchronization signal R = RT value for 80% of external synchronization frequency
