8.2 Typical Application

Figure 8-1 shows a typical application circuit for the LMR60406-Q1. This device is designed to function over a wide range of external components and system parameters. As a quick-start guide, Table 8-2 provides typical component values for a range of the most common operating conditions.

Table 8-1 Description of MODE/SYNC Pin Options
Option 1 To synchronize to an external clock, drive the MODE/SYNC pin directly from the clock.
Option 2 An appropriate voltage VMOD can be used at the MODE/SYNC to dynamically change between auto and FPWM modes.
Option 3 Ground the MODE/SYNC to run the device in auto mode.
Option 4 Connect the MODE/SYNC to RT to run the device in FPWM mode.
