PRODUCTION DATA
This pin allows to set three different parameters:
To save external components, the pin can also be directly tied to VIN or GND to set a pre-defined setting. Do not leave the pin floating.
The switching frequency has to be selected based on the input voltage and the output voltage to meet the specifications for the minimum on time and minimum off time.
Example: VIN = 5 V, VOUT = 1 V --> duty cycle = 1 V / 5 V = 0.2
The compensation range has to be chosen based on the minimum capacitance used. The capacitance can be increased from the minimum value as given in Table 9-1, up to the maximum of 200-µF effective capacitance in both compensation ranges. If the capacitance of an output changes during operation, for example, when load switches are used to connect or disconnect parts of the circuitry, the compensation has to be chosen for the minimum capacitance on the output. With large output capacitance, the compensation must be done based on that large capacitance to get the best load transient response. Compensating for large output capacitance but placing less capacitance on the output can lead to instability.
The switching frequency for the different compensation setting is determined by the following equations.

RCF | Compensation | Switching Frequency | Minimum Output Capacitance For VOUT < 1 V | Minimum Output Capacitance For VOUT < 3.3 V | Minimum Output Capacitance For VOUT ≥ 3.3 V |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
10 kΩ .. 4.5 kΩ | for smallest output capacitance (comp setting 1) SSC disabled | 1.8 MHz (10 kΩ) .. 4 MHz (4.5 kΩ) according to Equation 1 | 11 µF | 7 µF | 5 µF |
33 kΩ .. 18 kΩ | for smallest output capacitance (comp setting 1) SSC enabled | 1.8 MHz (33 kΩ) .. 4 MHz (18 kΩ) according to Equation 2 | 11 µF | 7 µF | 5 µF |
100 kΩ .. 45 kΩ | for best transient response (larger output capacitance) (comp setting 2) SSC disabled | 1.8MHz (100 kΩ) ..4 MHz (45 kΩ) according to Equation 3 | 30 µF | 18 µF | 15 µF |
tied to GND | for smallest output capacitance (comp setting 1) SSC disabled | internally fixed 2.25 MHz | 11 µF | 7 µF | 5 µF |
tied to VIN | for best transient response (larger output capacitance) (comp setting 2) SSC enabled | internally fixed 2.25 MHz | 30 µF | 18 µF | 15 µF |
Refer to Section 10.1.2.2.2 for further details on the output capacitance required depending on the output voltage.
A too-high resistor value for RCF is decoded as "tied to VIN," a value below the lowest range as "tied to GND." The minimum output capacitance in Table 9-1 is for capacitors close to the output of the device. If the capacitance is distributed, a lower compensation setting can be required.
