JAJSEJ4C January 2018 – July 2018 TPSM84209
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPSM84209 device is designed to operate in high-efficiency, pulse-skipping mode under light load conditions. Pulse skipping initiates when the high-side FET current is less than 500 mA typically. During pulse skipping, the low-side FET turns off when the switch current falls to 0 A. The switching node (SW pin) waveform takes on the characteristics of discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation and the apparent switching frequency decreases. As the output current decreases, the perceived time between switching pulses increases.
