Synchronization
The presence of many converters on the same board can generate beating frequency noise. To
avoid this it is important to make them operate at the same switching frequency. Moreover, a
phase shift between different modules helps to minimize the RMS current on the common input
capacitors.
devices can be synchronized simply connecting together the SYNCH pins. The device with the
higher switching frequency will be the Master while the other one will be the Slave. The Slave
controller will increase its switching frequency reducing the ramp amplitude proportionally and
then the modulator gain will be increased.
To avoid a huge variation of the modulator gain, the best way to synchronize two or more
devices is to make them work at the same switching frequency and, in any case, the switching
frequencies can differ for a maximum of 50% of the lowest one. If, during synchronization
between two (or more) L6730, it’s important to know in advance which the master is, it’s timely
to set its switching frequency at least 15% higher than the slave. Using an external clock signal
