Clock Locking

The TPSM8D7x20 uses the SYNC pin input differently depending on the configuration selected by the MSEL pin. When CH1 is configured to be the multiphase primary channel, which occurs in the"2+0" configuration, then CH1 uses a PLL circuit to lock the CH1 oscilator frequency to the SYNC input. In all other configurations where CH1 is a standalone output, the SYNC input directly connects the CH1 oscillator. Then the PLL circuit is used for phase interleaving between CH1 and CH2.

After a valid synchronization signal is detected on the SYNC pin, a clock locking procedure is initiated. If CH1 is a standalone single-phase output, then SYNC directly connects the CH1 oscillator and changes the switching frequency immediately. In all other configurations, after approximately 32 pulses, the clock frequency abruptly changes to the frequency of the synchronization signal. While the frequency adjusts suddenly, phase is maintained so the clock cycle lying between operation at the default and synchronization frequencies is of intermediate length. There are no very long or very short pulses. After frequency is adjusted, phase is adjusted over a few tens of cycles so that rising synchronization edges correspond to rising the SW node pulses.
