7.1.2.3 Choosing Switching Frequency

The choice of switching frequency is a compromise between conversion efficiency and overall design size. Higher switching frequency allows the use of smaller inductors and output capacitors, and hence, a more compact design. However, lower switching frequency implies reduced switching losses and usually results in higher system efficiency, so the 1000kHz switching frequency was chosen for this example, use 0Ω for R6.

Please note the switching frequency is also limited by the following as mentioned in Section 6.3.10:

  • Minimum on time of the integrated power switch
  • Input voltage
  • Output voltage
  • Frequency shift limitation
