The device will enter into a pulse-skipping mode (hysteretic mode) during startup in the event that VSENSE is greater than the voltage at the SS_TR pin. During this period, the high-side switch will remain off and the low-side switch will remain on until VSENSE again falls below the voltage at SS_TR. This is because a lower output voltage is needed than that supported by the minimum on time.
Thus, instantaneous output pulses can be higher or lower than the desired voltage. This behavior is evident when operating at high frequency with high bandwidth or with high VIN to VOUT ratios. When the minimum on-pulse is greater than the minimum controllable on-time, the pulse-skipping behavior is generally not observed at startup.
