7.3.3 Mode Selection

The MODE / SYNC pin is a multifunction pin that configures the mode of operation, and serves as an input for an external synchronization signal. If the pin is grounded or driven to logic low, the converter operates in auto mode. If the pin is tied to VCC or driven to logic high, or synchronized to an external clock source, the converter operates in FPWM mode.

In some cases, the mode of operation cannot be changed after the device has finished the start-up sequence. The column Mode Change Status in Table 7-2 indicates whether or not a mode change is allowed after the start-up sequence.

Table 7-2 Mode Selection
MODE/SYNC MODE MODE CHANGE STATUS SPREAD SPECTRUM
Short to GND or driven low AUTO Enabled Standard ±5% DRSS
49.9kΩ to GND FPWM Disabled Wide ±5% DRSS
149.9kΩ to GND AUTO Disabled Wide ±5% DRSS
Short to VCC or driven high FPWM Enabled Standard ±5% DRSS
Synchronizing Signal FPWM Enabled Disabled

Transitioning the device from auto to FPWM mode requires driving the pin from low to high or sending a synchronization signal. Transitioning the device from FPWM to auto mode requires driving the pin from high to low or stop sending the synchronization signal. Note that a short to ground or a pullup to VCC requires < 200Ω resistor.
