6.3.6.6 Light Load Mode

The DC-DC controller will enter into light load mode in below condition:

  • VIN voltage is very close to VOUT
  • Loading current is very low
  • PWM pulse width is very short

When DC-DC converter enters into light load mode, it stops switching occasionally to make sure output voltage won't rise up too much. It could also be called as PFM mode, since the DC-DC converter switching frequency will change in this mode.
