PRODUCTION DATA.
The MODE pin allows mode selection between forced PWM mode and power save mode.
Connecting this pin to GND enables the power save mode with automatic transition between PWM and PFM mode. Pulling the MODE pin high forces the converter to operate in fixed frequency PWM mode even at light load currents. This allows simple filtering of the switching frequency for noise sensitive applications. In this mode, the efficiency is lower compared to the power save mode during light loads.
The condition of the MODE pin can be changed during operation and allows efficient power management by adjusting the operation mode of the converter to the specific system requirements.
