7.4.2 Auto PFM Mode

The TPS61372 integrates a power-save mode with pulse frequency modulation (PFM) at light load (set the mode pin low logic or floating). The device skips the switching cycles and regulates the output voltage at a higher threshold (typically 101.6% × VOUT_NORM). Figure 7-1 shows the working principle of the PFM operation. The auto PFM mode reduces the switching losses and improves efficiency at light load condition by reducing the average switching frequency.
