7.3.1 Switching Frequency

The switch frequency is determined by a resistor connected to the FREQ pin of the TPS61500. Do not leave this pin open. A resistor must always be connected for proper operation. See Table 2 and Figure 6 for resistor values and corresponding frequencies.

Table 2. Switching Frequency vs External Resistor

R4 (kΩ) fSW (kHz)
443 240
256 400
176 600
80 1200
51 2000

Increasing switching frequency reduces the value of external capacitors and inductors, but also reduces the power conversion efficiency. The user must set the frequency for compromise between efficiency and solution size.
