7.3.1 Power Save Mode

The TPS62A03 version of the device automatically enters power save mode to improve efficiency at light load when the inductor current becomes discontinuous. In power save mode, the converter reduces the switching frequency and minimizes current consumption. In power save mode, the output voltage rises slightly above the nominal output voltage. This effect is minimized by increasing the output capacitor or adding a feedforward capacitor.

The TPS62A03A version of the device does not have the power saving functionality and preserves the switching frequency at all load conditions.
