JAJS843E April 1998 – June 2019 LM2588
PRODUCTION DATA.
The switching frequency of the LM2588 can be adjusted with the use of an external resistor. This feature allows the user to optimize the size of the magnetics and the output capacitor(s) by tailoring the operating frequency. A resistor connected from pin 1 (the Freq. Adj. pin) to ground will set the switching frequency from 100 kHz to 200 kHz (maximum). As shown in Figure 20, the pin can be used to adjust the frequency while still providing the shut down function. A curve in the Performance Characteristics Section graphs the resistor value to the corresponding switching frequency. The table in Table 1 shows resistor values corresponding to commonly used frequencies.
However, changing the LM2588's operating frequency from its nominal value of 100 kHz changes the magnetics selection and compensation component values.
