Application Information: continued
The Line BIAS pin shows a significant change in the regu-
lated V
CC
voltage when sinking large currents. This will
show up as poor line regulation with a low value pull-up
resistor. Typical regulated V
CC
vs BIAS pin sink current is
shown in Figure 1.

the rising edge of the Gate is shown in Figure 4. When this
pin is held high or low the internal clock determines the
oscillator frequency.

Clock Synchronization Pin (CS5126 Only)
The CS5126 can be synchronized to signals ranging from
30% slower to several times faster than the internal oscilla-
tor frequency. If the part is synchronized to a fast signal,
maximum duty cycle will be reduced as the frequency
increases as shown in Figure 2.

Rail to rail gate driver operation can be obtained (up to
13.5V) over a range of MOSFET input capacitance if the
gate resistor value is kept low. Figure 5 shows the high

Gate Resistor Value
If the converter is initially free running and a sync signal is
applied, the current oscillator cycle will terminate and the
oscillator will lock on to the sync signal. The SYNC pin
works with a positive edge triggered signal. When the sync
signal transitions high the current PWM cycle terminates
and a new cycle begins as shown in Figure 3. The typical
phase lag between the rising edge of the SYNC signal and
