PRODUCTION DATA
Most systems that require more than a single mode of operation from the LMR436x0 are controlled by digital circuitry such as a microprocessor. These systems can generate dynamic signals easily but have difficulty generating multi-level signals. Pulse-dependent MODE/SYNC pin control is useful with these systems. To initiate pulse-dependent MODE/SYNC pin control, a valid sync signal must be applied. Table 8-1 shows a summary of the pulse dependent mode selection settings.
MODE/SYNC INPUT | MODE |
---|---|
> VMODE_H | FPWM with spread spectrum factory setting |
< VMODE_L | Auto mode with spread spectrum factory setting |
Synchronization Clock | SYNC mode |
Figure 8-4 shows the transition between auto mode and FPWM mode while in pulse-dependent MODE/SYNC control. The LMR436x0 transitions to a new mode of operation after the time, tMODE. Figure 8-4 and Figure 8-5 show the details.
If MODE/SYNC voltage remains constant longer than tMODE, the LMR436x0 enters either auto mode or FPWM mode with spread spectrum turned on (if factory setting is enabled) and MODE/SYNC continues to operate in pulse-dependent scheme.
