7.4.2 Active Mode

The LMR23615-Q1 is in active mode when VEN is above the precision enable threshold, VIN and VCC are above their respective UVLO level. The simplest way to enable the LMR23615-Q1 is to connect the EN/SYNC pin to VIN pin. This allows self startup when the input voltage is in the operating range: 4 V to 36 V. See VCC, UVLO and EN/SYNC for details on setting these operating levels.

In active mode, depending on the load current, the LMR236215-Q1 is in one of three modes:

  1. Continuous conduction mode (CCM) with fixed switching frequency when load current is above half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple.
  2. Discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with fixed switching frequency when load current is lower than half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple in CCM operation (only for PFM option).
  3. Pulse frequency modulation mode (PFM) when switching frequency is decreased at very light load (only for PFM option).
