7.4.2 Auto-skip Eco-Mode Control

The TPS53015 operates in Auto-Skip Eco-mode to increase light-load efficiency. As the output current decreases from heavy load condition, the inductor current is also reduced and eventually comes to point where its rippled valley touches zero level, which is the boundary between continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction modes. The rectifying MOSFET turns off when the device detects a zero inductor current. As the load current further decreases, the converter transitions into discontinuous conduction mode. The on-time is maintained to almost half of what it was during continuous conduction mode operation because it takes longer to discharge the output capacitor with a smaller load current to the level of the reference voltage. Use Equation 2 to calculate the transition point to the light-load operation current (IOX(LL)) using a 500-kHz switching frequency.
