Switching Frequency (RT)

The switching frequency of the LMR719xx is set by the on-time programming resistor connected to the RT pin. Use Equation 2to calculate RT based on the desired switching frequency. For this example of 500kHz, 60.4kΩ is used.

Note that at very low duty cycles, the 30ns minimum controllable on time of the high-side MOSFET, tON(min), limits the maximum switching frequency. In CCM, tON(min) limits the voltage conversion step-down ratio for a given switching frequency.

Ultimately, the choice of switching frequency for a given output voltage affects the available input voltage range, design size, and efficiency.
