7.4.1 Light-Load Condition in Auto-Skip Operation (Eco-mode)

If the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is selected via PMBus (MODE_SOFT_START_CONFIG), TPS53819A automatically reduces the switching frequency at light-load conditions to maintain high efficiency. Specifically, as the output current decreases from heavy load condition, the inductor current is also reduced and eventually comes to the point that its ripple valley current touches zero level, which is the boundary between continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The synchronous MOSFET is turned OFF when this zero inductor current is detected. As the load current further decreases, the converter runs into DCM.

NOTE

The zero current must be detected for at least 16 switching cycles to switch from CCM to DCM.

The on-time remains almost the same as continuous conduction mode so that it takes longer time to discharge the output capacitor with smaller load current to the reference voltage level. The transition point to the light-load operation IOUT(LL) (i.e., the threshold between continuous and discontinuous conduction mode) is calculated in Equation 6.

where

  • fSW is the PWM switching frequency

Switching frequency versus output current in the light-load condition is a function of L, VIN and VOUT, but it decreases almost proportionally to the output current when below the IOUT(LL) given in Equation 6. For example, it is 65 kHz at IO(LL)/5 if the frequency setting is 325 kHz.
