PRODUCTION DATA.
This feature decreases the voltage undershoots and overshoots at load steps from light to heavy load and from heavy to light load. This feature is active in power-save mode and provides more headroom for both the voltage drop at a load step and the voltage increase at a load removal. This improves load-transient behavior. At light loads in which the converter operates in PFM mode, the output voltage is regulated typically 1% greater than the nominal value (VOUT). In case of a load transient from light load to heavy load, the output voltage drops until it reaches the low threshold of the PFM comparator set to –1% less than the nominal value, and goes to PWM mode. During a load removal from heavy load to light load, the voltage overshoot is low because of active regulation turning on the low-side MOSFET.
