8.3.2 Adjustable Switching Frequency (with RT)

The select variants in the device family with the RT pin allow the power designers to set any desired operating frequency between 200 kHz and 2.2 MHz in their applications. See Figure 8-4 to determine the resistor value needed for the desired switching frequency. The RT pin and the MODE/SYNC pin variants share the same pin location. The power supply designer can either use the RT pin variant and adjust the switching frequency of operation as warranted by the application or use the MODE/SYNC variant and synchronize to an external clock signal. See Table 8-1 for selection on programming the RT pin.

Table 8-1 RT Pin Setting
RT Input Switching Frequency
VCC 1 MHz
GND 2.2 MHz
RT to GND Adjustable according to Figure 8-4
Float (not recommended) No switching

Equation 1 can be used to calculate the value of RT for a desired frequency.

where

  • RT is the frequency setting resistor value (kΩ).
  • FSW is the switching frequency.
