7.3.4 Zero Coil Current Detect

The current of the synchronous MOSFET is monitored by a zero coil current detection circuit, which inhibits the synchronous MOSFET when its current reaches zero until the next on-time. This circuit enables the DCM operation, which improves the efficiency at a light load.
