PRODUCTION DATA
When the TPSM843321 works in FCCM mode with SYNC to external clock, the phase shift function can be activated by adding a capacitor connect to the MODE pin, as is shown in Figure 6-4. When the phase shift function is disabled, let the capacitor float. The phase shift function is designed to reduce the input ripple and improve EMI performance for multi-rails, where step-down converters share the same input. Figure 6-5 shows how phase shift reduces input ripple with three buck converters sharing the same input. Calculate the capacitor value using Equation 3, where CMODE is the MODE capacitor, θ is the degree of phase shift. Table 6-4 shows the typical capacitor value for the phase shift configuration.
