7.3.4 Low Dropout Operation (100% Duty Cycle)

The device offers a low dropout operation by entering 100% duty cycle mode if the input voltage comes close to the target output voltage. In this mode, the high-side MOSFET switch is constantly turned on. This constant is particularly useful in battery-powered applications to achieve the longest operation time by taking full advantage of the whole battery voltage range. The minimum input voltage to maintain a minimum output voltage is given by:

Equation 4. VIN (min) = VOUT (min) + IOUT (max) × RDP

where

  • VOUT (min) = Minimum output voltage the load can accept
  • IOUT (max) = Maximum output current
  • RDP = Resistance from VIN to VOUT (high-side RDS(on) + RDC of the inductor)
