PRODUCTION DATA
In boost configuration when the boost channel is used as a pre-boost, bypass mode operation is useful to reduce the losses of the high-side MOSFET when the converter input voltage is higher than the converter output regulation target. The device supports bypass mode operation by using an internal charge pump which is enabled in active mode. Because the internal charge pump generates VBIAS + 5 V to supply HB1, the BIAS pin should be connected to the output or input of the boost converter to supply enough voltage to HB1 when the converter input voltage is higher than the converter output regulation target.
During CCM operation or when the device is configured in FPWM mode, the high-side driver naturally turns on 100% without any replenish switching when the required on-time becomes less than zero and the input voltage is greater than the target output voltage. If the input supply voltage satisfies the following inequality in CCM, the boost channel starts random pulse skipping and eventually enters bypass mode.
7-V OUTPUT | 8.5-V OUTPUT | |
---|---|---|
fSW = 440 kHz | > 6.8 - 6.9 V | > 8.2 - 8.3 V |
fSW = 2.2 MHz | > 5.9 - 6.0 V | > 7.2 - 7.3 V |
During DCM operation, the device enters the bypass mode 16 cycles after the FB1 pin voltage is greater than VOVTH. In this bypass mode, the device turns on the high-side driver 100% by force.
CONDITION | LIGHT LOAD SWITCHING MODE | ||
---|---|---|---|
SKIP MODE | DIODE EMULATION (USE RSS IN FPWM) | FPWM MODE | |
VSUPPLY > VLOAD | Enters bypass mode (HO turns on 100%) when FB1 > VOVTH. During CCM, HO turns on 100% if the required on-time is zero. | ||
VSUPPLY ≈ VLOAD or at light load condition | Once LO driver turns on, the device keeps the LO driver on until the minimum peak current limit is satisfied. Random pulse skipping happens when the required peak current is less than the minimum peak current. | Random pulse skipping happens when the required on-time is less than the minimum on-time. | |
VSUPPLY < VLOAD | PWM operation with diode emulation | PWM operation in FPWM mode | |
VSUPPLY << VLOAD | Out-of-regulation when the required duty cycle is greater than the maximum duty cycle limit |
