Switching Frequency Selection

The switching frequency can be chosen to optimize efficiency (1 MHz) or ripple/noise (2.2 MHz). Using the 2.2-MHz setting increases the gain of the feedback loop and can result in lower output noise. However, additional considerations for minimum on-time and duty cycle must also be considered. First, calculate the duty cycle using Equation 3. Higher efficiency results in a shorter on-time, so a conservative approach is to use a higher efficiency than expected in the application.

Equation 3. GUID-20200724-CA0I-2XWP-PPTD-C2G78PHMTX4V-low.gif

where

  • η is the estimated efficiency (use the value from the efficiency curves or 0.9 as an conservative assumption)

Then, calculate the on-time with both 1 MHz and 2.2 MHz using Equation 4. The on-time must always remain above the minimum on-time of 70 nsec. Use the maximum input voltage and maximum efficiency to determine the minimum duty cycle, Dmin. Use the maximum switching frequency for fSW.

Equation 4. GUID-20200724-CA0I-TNMN-C293-H0TW2GVBBHLR-low.gif

then

  • If tON_min min < 70 ns with 2.2 MHz, use 1 MHz.

  • If tON_min min < 70 ns with 1 MHz, reduce the maximum input voltage.

  • If tON_min min ≥ 70 ns for both cases, use 1 MHz for highest efficiency, or 2.2 MHz for lowest noise and ripple.
