7.4.3 Forced Continuous Conduction Mode

When the MODE pin is tied to PGOOD through a resistor, the controller keeps continuous conduction mode (CCM) in light load condition. In this mode, switching frequency is kept almost constant over the entire load range which is suitable for applications that need tight control of the switching frequency at a cost of lower efficiency.
