Raising the switching frequency is one way to lower the ripple voltage, but how high should the switching frequency be raised? And what problems might result from a higher frequency?
There is an upper limit to the switching frequency depending on the IC; please refer to the data sheet. Problems with raising the switching frequency include increased heat generation due to poorer efficiency, and increased high-frequency noise.
