8.4.2 Active Mode

The LM516x is in active mode when VEN/UVLO is above the precision enable threshold and the internal bias rail is above its UV threshold. In COT active mode, the LM516x is in one of the following modes depending on the load current:

  1. CCM with fixed switching frequency when load current is above half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple
  2. Auto mode (P device designator)– light load operation: Pulse skipping and diode emulation mode (DEM) when the load current is less than half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple in CCM operation.
  3. FPWM mode (F device designator)– light load operation: Continuous conduction mode (CCM) throughout the entire load current range, including when the load current is lower than half of the inductor current ripple
  4. Current limit CCM with peak and valley current limit protection when an over-current condition is applied at the output
