3.2 Adjusting the Switching Frequency
If other frequencies are desired, within the frequency range of 400 kHz to 2.2 MHz, the Rtresistor (R11)
value can be changed. Consult the datasheet for proper selection of the Rtresistor (R11). Change the
inductor (L1) and the total output capacitance for proper control loop operation.
The RT/SYNC pin can also be used to synchronize the internal oscillator to an external clock. The
TPS25830EVMQ1-040 allows users to synchronize the internal oscillator to both Lo-Z clock source and
Hi-Z clock source by configuring R11, R13, and C13. Refer to the datasheet for detailed information.
3.3 Adjusting the Current Limit Value
If other current limit values are desired, the Rlresistor (R14) value can be changed. Consult the datasheet
for proper selection of the Rlresistor (R14).
3.4 Adjusting the Cable Compensation Value
If other cable compensation values are desired, the Rmresistor (R15) value can be changed. Consult the
datasheet for proper selection of the Rmresistor (R15).
