Table shows typical values required range switching frequencies. Selecting optimum switching frequency depends several factors. Inductor size reduced with higher frequency efficiency drops higher switching losses. addition, some applications require very high duty cycles drive large number LEDs from supply. switching frequency allows greater operational duty cycle hence greater number LEDs driven. each case switching frequency tailored provide optimum solution.
