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 forces PWM mode when set high. The pin also allows you to apply an external clock in a frequency range from 1.8MHz to 4MHz for external synchronization. When an external clock is applied, the device operates in PWM mode. As with the switching frequency selection, the specification for the minimum on-time has to be observed when applying the external clock signal. The synchronization to the external clock is done on the falling edge of the applied clock to the rising edge of the internal SW pin. The MODE/SYNC pin can be changed during operation.
