PM6670AS
Device description
The duty-cycle of the buck converter is, in steady-state conditions, given by
Equation 2
D = -V----O----U---T--
VIN
The switching frequency is thus calculated as
Equation 3
where

= αOSC ⋅ 1

Referring to the typical application schematic (figures on cover page and Figure 27), the
final expression is then:
Equation 5
fSW
= αOSC

Even if the switching frequency is theoretically independent from battery and output
voltages, parasitic parameters involved in power path (like MOSFETs' on-resistance and
inductor's DCR) introduce voltage drops responsible for slight dependence on load current.
In addition, the internal delay is due to a small dependence on input voltage. The
PM6670AS switching frequency can be set by an external divider connected to the VOSC
pin.
