8.2.2.2 Choosing the Switching Frequency

The choice of switching frequency is a compromise between conversion efficiency and overall design size. Lower switching frequency implies reduced switching losses, typically resulting in less power dissipated in the IC. Lower power dissipated in the IC results in higher system efficiency and a lower IC temperature. However, higher switching frequency allows the use of smaller output capacitors, hence, a more compact design.

In this design a 1MHz switching frequency is used, so RT is chosen to be 15.4kΩ. If another switching frequency is desired, please refer to Section 7.3.6.
