Programming the Switching Frequency and
Off-Time and On-Time
The APW7093 features a programmable PWM-mode
switching frequency, which is set by the input and
output voltage and the value of R
TOFF
, connected from
T
OFF
to GND. R
TOFF
sets the PMOS power switch
off-time in PWM mode. Use the following equation to
select the off-time while sourcing current according to
the desired switching frequency in PWM mode:

Setting the Output Voltage (Cont.)
Recommended values for R
TOFF
range from 24k
410k
for off-times of 0.4μs to 4μs.
Often the switching
frequency is set as high as possible, and the inductor value
is reduced to minimize the energy transferred from
inductor to capacitor during load-step recovery.
The operating frequency of the APW7093 is determined
primarily by T
OFF
(set by R
TOFF
), V
IN
, and V
OUT
as
shown in the following formula:

However, as the output current increases, the voltage
drop across the NMOS and PMOS switches increases
and the voltage across the inductor decreases. This
causes the frequency to drop. Assuming R
