- The Class-D amplifier, an audio power amplifier with a switched-mode output.
- Various types of electric power conversion equipment:
- Motor controls, such as Variable-frequency drives
This frequency is also used in different types of DC-DC converters like Battery Discharge Regulator, Universal Bus Regulator, Auxiliary Bus Regulator etc., switching frequency refers the switch on or off the circuit in the particular frequency
