JAJSHH0E August 2013 – May 2019 TPS54618-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA.
The switching frequency of the TPS54618-Q1 is adjustable over a wide range from 300 kHz to 2000 kHz by placing a maximum of 700 kΩ and minimum of 85 kΩ, respectively, on the RT/CLK pin. An internal amplifier holds this pin at a fixed voltage when using an external resistor to ground to set the switching frequency. The RT/CLK is typically 0.5 V. To determine the timing resistance for a given switching frequency, use the curve in Equation 9 or Equation 10.
To reduce the solution size one would typically set the switching frequency as high as possible, but tradeoffs of the efficiency, maximum input voltage, and minimum controllable ON-time should be considered.
The minimum controllable ON-time is typically 75 ns at full current load and 120 ns at no load, and limits the maximum operating input voltage or output voltage.
