PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS61376 operates at a quasi-constant frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) in moderate to heavy load condition before trigger the input average current limit. Based on the VIN to VOUT ratio, a circuit predicts the required off-time of the switching cycle. At the beginning of each switching cycle, the low-side N-MOSFET switch, shown in Functional Block Diagram, is turned on, and the inductor current ramps up to a peak current that is determined by the output of the internal error amplifier. After the peak current is reached, the current comparator trips, then it turns off the low-side N-MOSFET switch and the inductor current goes through the schottky diode. Because the output voltage is higher than the input voltage, the inductor current decreases. Until the calculated off-time is reached the low-side switch turns on again and the switching cycle is repeated.
