PRODUCTION DATA
The RT resistor sets the oscillator switching frequency. Higher frequencies result in smaller size components such as the inductor and filter capacitors. However, operating at higher frequencies also results in higher MOSFET and diode switching losses. Operation at 250 kHz was selected for this example as a reasonable compromise between size and efficiency.
The value of RT resistor can be calculated as follows:
The nearest standard value of 24.9 kΩ was chosen for RT.
