FREQUENCY ADJUST/SYNCHRONIZATION/SHUTDOWN
The switching frequency of LM3488 can be adjusted between
100kHz and 1MHz using a single external resistor. This re-
sistor must be connected between FA/SYNC/SD pin and
ground, as shown in
formance characteristics to determine the value of the resistor
required for a desired switching frequency.
The LM3488 can be synchronized to an external clock. The
external clock must be connected to the FA/SYNC/SD pin
through a resistor, R
this resistor is dependent on the off time of the synchroniza-
tion pulse, T

It is also necessary to have the width of the synchronization
pulse narrower than the duty cycle of the converter. It is also
necessary to have the synchronization pulse width
300nsecs.
The FA/SYNC/SD pin also functions as a shutdown pin. If a
high signal (refer to the electrical characteristics for definition
of high signal) appears on the FA/SYNC/SD pin, the LM3488
stops switching and goes into a low current mode. The total
supply current of the IC reduces to less than 10µA under these
conditions.

tion when operating in Frequency adjust mode and synchro-
nization mode respectively. In frequency adjust mode,
connecting the FA/SYNC/SD pin to ground forces the clock
to run at a certain frequency. Pulling this pin high shuts down
the IC. In frequency adjust or synchronization mode, a high
signal for more than 30µs shuts down the IC.
