The converter can have two behaviors while lightly loaded. AUTO mode operation allows for a seamless transition between normal current-mode operation while heavily loaded and in highly efficient light-load operation. The other behavior, called FPWM mode, maintains full frequency even when unloaded. Which mode the converter operates in depends on which factory option is employed. See Section 4. Note that the converter operates in FPWM mode when synchronizing frequency to an external clock signal.
In AUTO mode, the converter employs two techniques to improve efficiency during light-load operation:
Note that while these two features operate together to create excellent light-load behavior, the features operate independently of each other.
