7.5.1 PWM Mode Operation

The LMZ21701 operates in PWM mode when the output current is greater than half the inductor ripple current. The frequency variation in PWM mode is controlled and depends on the VIN and VOUT settings. Refer to the Application Curves section for switching frequency graphs for several typical output voltage settings. As the load current is decreased and the valley of the inductor current ripple reaches 0 A the device enters PSM operation to maintain high efficiency.
