PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS56838 is designed to operate in forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) under light load conditions. During FCCM, the switching frequency is maintained at a constant level over the entire load range, which is designed for applications requiring tight control of the switching frequency and output voltage ripple at the cost of lower efficiency under light load. For some audio applications, this mode can help avoid switching frequency drop into audible range that can introduce some noise.
