SNAS416K July 2007 – November 2019 LM48511
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LM48511 regulator features two different switching modes. Under light-load conditions, the regulator operates in a variable frequency, discontinuous, pulse-skipping mode, that improves light load efficiency by minimizing losses due to MOSFET gate charge. Under heavy loads, the LM48511 regulator automatically switches to a continuous, fixed-frequency PWM mode, improving load regulation. In discontinuous mode, the regulator output voltage is typically 400 mV higher than the expected (calculated) voltage in continuous mode.
