8.2.2.1 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 and usually results in higher system efficiency. However, higher switching frequency allows the use of smaller inductors and output capacitors, and hence, a more compact design. There are several options to set the switching frequency of the LM636x5-Q1. For the LM636x5D-Q1, either the RT or the SYNC pin can be used to set the switching frequency. For the
LM636x5C-Q1, the internal (default) frequency is set at 2.1MHz or can be set externally through the SYNC pin. When the SYNC pin is being used, avoid asserting or de-asserting the SYNC signal during operation to prevent disturbances in the output voltage. For the application example, the switching frequency (Fsw) was chosen to be 2100kHz.
