The usable input frequency range for the PWM input is governed on the low end by the cutoff frequency of the internal low-pass filter (540 Hz, Q = 0.33) and on the high end by the propagation delays through the internal logic. For frequencies below 2 kHz the current ripple begins to become a larger portion of the DC LED current. Additionally, at lower PWM frequencies the boost output voltage ripple increases, causing a non-linear response from the PWM duty cycle to the average LED current due to the response time of the boost. For the best response of current vs. duty cycle, the PWM input frequency must be kept between 2 kHz and 100 kHz.
