Minimum Duty Cycle and 100% Mode Operation

The minimum on-time, which is typically 70ns, normally determines a limit on the minimum operating duty cycle. The calculation is:

space

However, a frequency foldback lowers the switching frequency depending on the duty cycle and ensures proper regulation for every duty cycle.

There is no limit towards maximum duty cycle. When the input voltage becomes close to the output voltage, the device enters automatically 100% duty cycle mode and both high-side FETs switch on as long as VOUT remains lower than the regulation setpoint. In this case, the voltage drop across the high-side FETs and the inductors determines the output voltage level. An estimate for the minimum input voltage to maintain output voltage regulation is:

space

Equation 3. TPSM82480 SLVSDT1_eqvinmin.gif

where

  • typical DCR of each inductor is 20 mΩ
  • the maximum DCR of each inductor is 27 mΩ

In 100% duty cycle mode, the low-side FETs are switched off. The typical quiescent current in 100% mode is
3.5 mA.
