PRODUCTION DATA
This pin lets the user set two different parameters independently:
A resistor from COMP/FSET to GND changes the compensation and switching frequency. The change in compensation allows the user to adapt the device to different values of output capacitance. The resistor must be placed close to the pin to keep the parasitic capacitance on the pin to a minimum. The compensation setting is sampled when the converter starts up, so a change in the resistor during operation only has an effect on the switching frequency, but not on the compensation.
To save external components, the pin can also be directly tied to VIN or GND to set a pre-defined switching frequency or compensation. Do not leave the pin floating.
The switching frequency has to be selected based on the input voltage and the output voltage to meet the specifications for the minimum on time and minimum off time.
For example: VIN = 5 V, VOUT = 1 V --> duty cycle (DC) = 1 V / 5 V = 0.2
The compensation range has to be chosen based on the minimum capacitance used. The capacitance can be increased from the minimum value as given in Table 9-1 and Table 9-2, up to a maximum of 470 µF in all of the three compensation ranges. If the capacitance of an output changes during operation, for example, when load switches are used to connect or disconnect parts of the circuitry, the compensation must be chosen for the minimum capacitance on the output. With large output capacitance, the compensation must be done based on that large capacitance to get the best load transient response. Compensating for large output capacitance, but placing less capacitance on the output, can lead to instability.
The switching frequency for the different compensation settings is determined by the following equations.
For compensation (comp) setting 1:
For compensation (comp) setting 2:
For compensation (comp) setting 3:

A too-high resistor value for RCF is decoded as "tied to VIN". A value below the lowest range is decoded as "tied to GND". The minimum output capacitance in Table 9-1 and Table 9-2 is for capacitors close to the output of the device. If the capacitance is distributed, a lower compensation setting can be required. All values are effective capacitance including, but not limited to:
