The RT/CLK pin voltage is typically 0.5V and must have a resistor to ground to set the switching frequency.
TPS54160, TPS54160A SLVSB56C – MAY 2012 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2014 www.ti.com Feature Description (continued) 8.3.15 Selecting the Switching Frequency The switching frequency that is selected should be the lower value of the two equations, Equation 12 and Equation 13. Equation 12 is the maximum switching frequency limitation set by the minimum controllable on time. Setting the switching frequency above this value causes the regulator to skip switching pulses.

TPS54160, TPS54160A SLVSB56C – MAY 2012 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2014 www.ti.com The typical minimum on time, tonmin, is 130 ns for the TPS54160A. For this example, the output voltage is 3.3 V and the maximum input voltage is 18 V, which allows for a maximum switch frequency up to 1600 kHz when including the inductor resistance, on resistance and diode voltage in Equation 12.
TPS54160, TPS54160A www.ti.com SLVSB56C – MAY 2012 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2014 9.2.2.3 Output Capacitor There are three primary considerations for selecting the value of the output capacitor. The output capacitor will determine the modulator pole, the output voltage ripple, and how the regulators responds to a large change in load current. The output capacitance needs to be selected based on the more stringent of these three criteria.

The selected diode must have a reverse voltage rating equal to or greater than Vinmax.
TPS54160, TPS54160A www.ti.com SLVSB56C – MAY 2012 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2014 For this example design, a ceramic capacitor with at least a 20 V voltage rating is required to support the maximum input voltage. Common standard ceramic capacitor voltage ratings include 4 V, 6.3 V, 10 V, 16 V, 25 V, 50 V or 100 V, so a 25 V capacitor should be selected. For this example, two 2.2 μF, 25 V capacitors in parallel have been selected. Table 2 shows a selection of high voltage capacitors.
TPS54160, TPS54160A SLVSB56C – MAY 2012 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2014 www.ti.com Once the slow start time is known, the slow start capacitor value can be calculated using Equation 6. For the example circuit, the slow start time is not too critical since the output capacitor value is 47μF which does not require much current to charge to 3.3V. The example circuit has the slow start time set to an arbitrary value of 1ms which requires a 3.3 nF capacitor. ´ VOUT ´ 0.8 C tSS > OUT ISS(avg) (40) 9.2.2.
