6.4.3 High Duty Cycle Operation (100% Duty Cycle)

The device offers a low input-to-output voltage differential by entering 100% duty cycle mode. In this mode, the high-side MOSFET switch is constantly turned on. The minimum input voltage to maintain output voltage regulation, depending on the load current and the output voltage level, is calculated as:

Equation 2. V I N   ( m i n ) = V O U T ( m i n ) + I O U T × R D S ( O N )   +   R L

where

  • VOUT(min) is the minimum output voltage the load can accept
  • IOUT is the output current
  • RDS(ON) is the RDS(ON) of the high-side MOSFET
  • RL is the DC resistance of the inductor used

To maintain fixed frequency switching, the device requires a minimum off-time of 50 ns (typical), 60 ns (maximum). If this limit is reached during a switching pulse, the device skips switching pulses to maintain output voltage regulation. If the input voltage decreases further, the device enters 100% mode.
