What is external synchronization frequency?

In summary, the external synchronization frequency of 350-450kHz on the DC-DC converter allows for synchronization with an external clock in that range to avoid noise interference. If no clock is supplied, the converter will free-run at a frequency within that range.

Welcome to the PF.

It probably means that you can synchronize the DC-DC converter's switching frequency to an external clock in that frequency range. That is often done to avoid noise interference with other equipment nearby. If you don't supply a synchronizing clock, the DC-DC will free-run at some frequency in that frequency range probably.

Thank you for explanation! It helped a lot:approve:
 

1. What is synchronization frequency?

Synchronization frequency is the rate at which a system or device is updated or synchronized with another system or device. It is typically measured in Hertz (Hz) or cycles per second.

2. Why is synchronization frequency important?

Synchronization frequency is important because it ensures that systems or devices are working together in a coordinated and efficient manner. It allows for accurate and timely communication, data sharing, and coordination between different components of a system.

3. How is synchronization frequency determined?

Synchronization frequency is determined by the specifications and capabilities of the systems or devices involved. It can also be adjusted or set by a user or system administrator to meet specific needs and requirements.

4. What are the potential issues with synchronization frequency?

If synchronization frequency is too low, there may be delays or interruptions in communication and data sharing between systems. If it is too high, it may put unnecessary strain on systems and waste resources. In some cases, incompatible synchronization frequencies between systems can also cause issues.

5. Can synchronization frequency be changed?

Yes, synchronization frequency can be changed by adjusting the settings or configurations of the systems or devices involved. It may also be automatically adjusted by the systems themselves to optimize performance and efficiency.
