SLVSD26B April 2016 – April 2021 TPS54202
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS54202 is designed to operate in pulse skipping mode at light load currents to boost light load efficiency. When the peak inductor current is lower than 300 mA typically, the device enters pulse skipping mode. When the device is in pulse skipping mode, the error amplifier output voltage is clamped which prevents the high side integrated MOSFET from switching. The peak inductor current must rise above 300 mA and exit pulse skip mode. Since the integrated current comparator catches the peak inductor current only, the average load current entering pulse skipping mode varies with the applications and external output filters.
