8.3.1.2 Transition Between PWM and PFM Modes

The LP87702-Q1 buck converter operates in PWM mode at load current of about 520 mA or higher. The device automatically switches into PFM mode for reduced current consumption when forced PWM mode is disabled (AUTO mode operation) at lighter load current levels. A high efficiency is achieved over a wide output-load current range by combining the PFM and the PWM modes.
