Two ICs could also be configured as a 2-phase, single output master and a slave which has two
independent outputs, but is synchronized with the master controller clock. The configuration is shown in
Table 5-5.

5.27.3 CLOCK MASTER, PHSEL AND CLKIO CONFIGURATIONS
The clock synchronization between the master and the slave controller(s) is implemented in a simple
configuration of series 39-kΩ resistors. There is a 20-μA current source from the PHSEL pin of the master
controller. Depending on the number of slave controllers connected, the slave controllers selects the
proper delay from the master CLKIO signal to accomplish phase interleaving. On a given master or slave
controller, the two phases are always 180° out-of-phase.
The CLKIO signal has either six or eight clocks for each cycle of the switching period.
For maximum flexibility the master and slave controllers can be either in a 2-phase configuration or a Dual
output configuration
