Key Switching Waveforms and Operating Mode Load Current

This section shows a table of typical load-current ranges within each operating mode in this design, at Vin = 250 VDC and IFL_HI range as an example. Following the table are typical waveforms seen while in each of the operating modes of Table 8-3. Hysteresis between modes results in differences between the modes' current ranges when load is decreasing compared to when load is increasing.

  • AAM: Adaptive Amplitude Modulation
  • ABM: Adaptive Burst Mode
  • LPM: Low Power Mode
  • SBP1: First Standby Power Mode
  • SBP2: Second Standby Power Mode
