PRODUCTION DATA
The duty cycle of a buck converter operated in PWM mode is given as D = VOUT / VIN. The duty cycle increases as the input voltage comes close to the output voltage and the off-time gets smaller. When the minimum off-time of typically 10 ns is reached, the TPSM82851x skips switching cycles while approaching 100% mode. In 100% mode, the device keeps the high-side switch on continuously. The high-side switch stays turned on as long as the output voltage is below the target. This feature is particularly useful in battery-powered applications to achieve longest operation time by taking full advantage of the whole battery voltage range. The minimum input voltage to maintain a minimum output voltage is given by:
