8.3.3 MODE / SYNC

When MODE/SYNC is set low, the device operates in PWM or PFM mode, depending on the output current. The MODE/SYNC pin allows you to force PWM mode when set high. The pin also allows you to apply an external clock in a frequency range from 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz for external synchronization. The specifications for the minimum on-time and minimum off-time must be observed when setting the external frequency. For use with external synchronization on the MODE/SYNC pin, the internal switching frequency must be set by RCF to a similar value to the externally applied clock. This action make sure that if the external clock fails, the switching frequency stays in the same range and the compensation settings are still valid.
