7.3.8 CCM Operation

The LM34936 works in continuous conduction mode (CCM). In CCM operation the inductor current can flow in either direction and the controller switches at a fixed frequency regardless of the load current. The CCM operation is useful for noise-sensitive applications where a fixed switching eases filter design.
