What is external synchronization frequency?

AI Thread Summary
External synchronization frequency refers to the ability to align a DC-DC converter's switching frequency with an external clock, typically within the range of 350-450 kHz. This synchronization helps minimize noise interference with nearby equipment. If no external clock is provided, the converter will operate at a free-running frequency within that range. Understanding this concept is crucial for optimizing performance in electronic systems. The discussion highlights the importance of synchronization in reducing potential interference.

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
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively.
So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation).
Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
