Using the frequency = (I

I
ON
= (1MHz • 2.4V • 10pF) • (1/0.41) ≅ 58μA. I
ON
current
calculated from 12V input was 103μA, so a resistor from
f
ADJ
to ground = (0.7V/15k) = 46μA. 103μA – 46μA =
57μA, sets the adequate I
ON
current for proper frequency
range for the higher duty cycle conversion of 12V to
5V. Input voltage range is limited to 9V to 16V. Higher
input voltages can be used without the 15k on f
ADJ
. The
inductor ripple current gets too high above 16V, and the
400ns minimum off-time is limited below 9V.

~450kHz frequency or 2.22μs period is chosen for 5V to
3.3V. Frequency range is about 450kHz to 650kHz from
4.5V to 7V input.

ON
current
calculated from 5V input was 39μA, so a resistor from f
ADJ
to ground = (0.7V/30.1k) = 23μA. 39μA – 23μA = 16μA,
sets the adequate I
ON
current for proper frequency range
for the higher duty cycle conversion of 5V to 3.3V. Input
voltage range is limited to 4.5V to 7V. Higher input voltages
can be used without the 30.1k on f
ADJ
. The inductor ripple
current gets too high above 7V, and the 400ns minimum
off-time is limited below 4.5V.
