The advantage of increasing the switching frequency is that it is possible to improve responsiveness to load fluctuations. In addition, since the peripheral components can be made smaller, the size of the power supply circuit can be reduced. The disadvantage is that the switching loss increases, which reduces efficiency and increases heat generation.
