Eco-mode Operation

The TPS562243 operates in Eco-mode, which maintains high efficiency at light load. As the output current decreases from heavy load conditions, the inductor current is also reduced and eventually comes to a point where the rippled valley touches zero level, which is the boundary between continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction modes. The rectifying MOSFET is turned off when the zero inductor current is detected. As the load current further decreases, the converter runs into discontinuous conduction mode. The on time is kept almost the same as in continuous conduction mode so that discharging the output capacitor with smaller load current to the level of the reference voltage takes longer. This fact makes the switching frequency lower, proportional to the load current, and keeps the light load efficiency high.
