1.2 External Synchronization
These ICs have a sync input pin so that they can be synchronized to a primary-control AC/DC converter.
Pulses from the secondary winding of the switching transformer should be dropped through a resistor
voltage divider to the sync input pin. Synchronization takes place at the falling edge, which is optimal for
multiple-output power supplies that synchronize with a flyback AC/DC converter.
The sync input pin (SYNC) is connected internally through a synchronizing circuit to the sawtooth
oscillator to synchronize the sawtooth waveform (see figure 1.2).

Synchronization is with the falling edge of the external sync signal.
