PRODUCTION DATA
In buck configuration, the device starts pulse skipping at the light load condition or when the input voltage is much higher than the target output voltage in CCM. The device skips the high-side driver pulses if the required on-time is less than the buck minimum controllable on-time (tON-MIN-BUCK). This pulse skipping appears as a random behavior.
If the input supply voltage satisfies the following inequality in CCM, the buck channel starts random pulse skipping.
3.3-V OUTPUT | 5.0-V OUTPUT | |
---|---|---|
fSW = 440 kHz | No pulse skipping in CCM | No pulse skipping in CCM |
fSW = 2.2 MHz | > 20 - 23 V | > 31 - 34 V |
In buck configuration, the maximum duty cycle of the high-side driver is limited by the buck minimum controllable off-time (tOFF-MIN-BUCK). tOFF-MIN-BUCK decides the minimum input supply voltage that can achieve the target output voltage in normal PWM operation. If the input voltage falls down below this minimum input supply voltage in normal PWM operation, the device enters a low-dropout (LDO) mode to extend the minimum input voltage further down. If the input supply voltage satisfies the following inequality, the buck channel enters a low drop-out mode.
3.3-V OUTPUT | 5.0-V OUTPUT | |
---|---|---|
fSW = 440 kHz | < 3.6 - 3.8 V | < 5.5 - 5.6 V |
fSW = 2.2 MHz | < 4.3 - 4.5 V | < 6.6 - 6.7 V |
