PRODUCTION DATA
The converter reduces the switching frequency whenever the output voltage is higher than the setpoint. This function is enabled whenever COMP, an internal signal, is low and there is an offset between the FB regulation setpoint and the voltage applied at FB. The net effect is that there is a larger output impedance while lightly loaded in AUTO mode than in normal operation. The output voltage is approximately 1% high when the converter is completely unloaded.
In PFM operation, a small DC positive offset is required on the output voltage to activate the PFM detector. The lower the frequency in PFM, the more DC offset is needed on VOUT. If the DC offset on VOUT is not acceptable, use a dummy load at the output or select FPWM mode to reduce or eliminate this offset.
