7.3.1.1 Switching Frequency Settings

The switching frequency of LP8868 family is adjustable from 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz by means of changing RFSET connected between FSET pin and AGND. The default switching frequency is 100 kHz when the FSET pin is connected to nothing.

The resistor value and the corresponding switching frequency are listed in the below table:

Table 7-1 Switching Frequency vs. RFSET resistor value
Switching Frequency Resistor Value (kΩ)
100 kHz 232
200 kHz 138
300 kHz 83
400 kHz 59
600 kHz 38
800 kHz 28
1 MHz 23
1.2 MHz 18
1.5 MHz 13
1.8 MHz 11
2.2 MHz 9

For example, if RFSET is set to 59 kΩ, the corresponding switching frequency is 400 kHz.

In most cases, lower switching frequency has higher system efficiency and better thermal performance.
