7.4.3 Auto PFM Mode Operation

If MODE/SYNC is below the VMODE/SYNC low threshold, reverse current in the inductor is not allowed. This feature is called diode emulation. While the load is heavy, the regulator uses PWM mode to control the output. If the load is light, the control logic transitions to PFM mode. The switching frequency is reduced, resulting in excellent energy savings while regulation is maintained. Because the frequency is reduced and switching pulses can come in groups, the output voltage ripple can increase slightly. Under this condition, the output ripple can be reduced by increasing the output capacitance.
