8.3.1 Power Save Mode

As the load current decreases, the device enters Power Save Mode (PSM) operation. PSM occurs when the inductor current becomes discontinuous, which is when it reaches 0 A during a switching cycle. Power Save Mode is based on a fixed on-time architecture, as shown in Equation 1.

Equation 1. GUID-753AD9F3-E6AB-4B4C-B450-4AA99E307528-low.gif

In Power Save Mode, the output voltage rises slightly above the nominal output voltage. This effect is minimized by increasing the output capacitor or inductor value.
