Switching Frequency Determination
The switching concept of the ILD4071 is based on peak current regulation with constant OFF time (tOFF). Thus the
switching frequency fSW is dependent on Input voltage (VREC) variations.
With the external RFREQ, CFREQ, RCOMP RCLAMP and ZCLAMP network, it is possible to adjust and stabilize the
switching frequency of the regulator and achieve a.
1) no compensation, fSW increases accordingly to the VREC increase
2) switching frequency stabilized in a defined VREC range via compensation resistor RCOMP
3) switching frequency stabilized over the whole VREC range via RCOMP and additional clamping circuit ZCLAMP and
RCLAMP (=1kΩ)
