9.3.6.1 Internal Clock Mode

The TPS7H401x is configured for internal clock mode if the RT pin is populated and no external clock is input on SYNC1. In internal clock mode (also sometimes called internal oscillator mode), a resistor is connected between the RT pin and GND to configure the switching frequency, fSW, of the device. The nominal switching frequency is adjustable from 100kHz to 1MHz depending on the RT resistor value, which can be calculated using Equation 6. Figure 9-4 shows the relationship curve between the RT resistor value and the configurable switching frequency range.

Equation 6. RT = 86,090 × fSW–1.104
