7.3.2 Force Continuous Conduction Mode (FCCM)

The TPS54308 is designed to operate in forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) during light load conditions. During FCCM, the switching frequency is maintained at an almost constant level over the entire load range which is suitable for applications requiring tight control of the switching frequency and output voltage ripple at the cost of lower efficiency under light load. For some audio applications, this mode can help avoid switching frequency drop into an audible range that can introduce some "noise".
