The LM5013 is in
active mode when VEN/UVLO is above the precision enable threshold and the
internal bias rail is above its UV threshold. In COT active mode, the LM5013 is in one of three modes depending on the load
current:
- CCM with fixed switching
frequency when load current is above half of the peak-to-peak inductor current
ripple
- The LM5013 enters discontinuous
conduction mode when the load current is less than half of the peak-to-peak
inductor current in CCM operation.
- Current limit CCM with peak
current limit protection when an overcurrent condition is applied at the
output
