8.1.8 Setting the Switching Frequency

There are two options for setting the switching frequency of the LM27402. The frequency is adjusted by an external resistor from FADJ to GND, or the user can synchronize the LM27402 to an external clock signal using SYNC. The LM27402 only synchronizes to frequencies above the frequency set by the RFADJ resistor. The clock signal must range from less than 0.8 V to greater than 2.0 V to ensure proper operation. If the clock signal ceases, the switching frequency reduces to the free-running frequency set by the FADJ resistor. The frequency range is 200 kHz to 1.2 MHz. The sync-in clock can synchronize at a maximum of 400 kHz above the frequency set by the resistor. To find the resistance needed for a given frequency, use the following equation: (fSW (kHz), RFADJ (kΩ))
