Application information
The purpose of this chapter is to show the design procedure of the switching section.
The design starts from three main specifications:

●
It's also possible that specific designs should involve other specifications.
The following paragraphs will guide the user into a step-by-step design.
External components selection
The PM6670S uses a pseudo-fixed frequency, constant on-time (COT) controller as the core
of the switching section. The switching frequency can be set by connecting an external
divider to the VOSC pin. The voltage seen at this pin must be greater than 0.8 V and lower
than 2 V in order to ensure system's linearity.
Nearly constant switching frequency is achieved by the system's loop in steady-state
operating conditions by varying the on-time duration, avoiding thus the need for a clock
generator. The On-Time one shot duration is directly proportional to the output voltage,
sensed at VSNS pin, and inversely proportional to the input voltage, sensed at the VOSC
pin, as follows:
Equation 24

The duty cycle of the buck converter is, under steady state conditions, given by
Equation 25
The switching frequency is thus calculated as
