6.4.2.2 Frequency Foldback

If output power reduces while operating in 6th valley to reduce FB pin voltage below VTHFF, the converter transitions to frequency foldback mode and abandons valley switching. The peak current threshold is clamped to IPK,MIN and converter operates at higher valleys after 6th valley, depending on FB pin voltage. This causes the switching frequency to reduce further with increase in target valley number, till switching frequency reduces to and is clamped at 25kHz. Minimum switching frequency is clamped to 25kHz to prevent any audible noise, with a total switching cycle time of 40μs. Further reduction in output power takes the converter to burst mode to reduce unnecessary switching losses from periodic switching and achieve very low standby power consumption.
