PRODUCTION DATA
The light load efficiency can be increased further by entering the sleep mode more frequently and staying in the sleep mode longer. In skip mode, the device works in diode emulation, but the minimum peak current is limited to 10 mV/RS once the switch turns on. By limiting the minimum peak current, the converter supplies more current than the required, enters the sleep mode more frequently and stays longer in the sleep mode. In the skip mode configuration, the channel enters the sleep mode when the pulse skip counter detects 16 consecutive cycles of pulse skipping in active mode. Once the channel enters the sleep mode, the channel cannot re-enter the active mode during 4 μs + one cycle minimum sleep time. During the sleep mode, error amplifier is active and the FB monitor monitors the internal FB node. The channel enters active mode after a 5 μs delay if the COMP is greater than the COMP wake-up threshold (VWAKE-COMP) or the internal FB is less than the FB wake-up threshold (VWAKE-FB).
