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 LM63635C-Q1. The internal switching frequency is set at 400kHz or 2.1MHz For the application example, the switching frequency (Fsw) was chosen to be 2.1MHz.
