7.3.3 COT Mode Light-Load Operation

Diode emulation mode (DEM) operation occurs when the low-side MOSFET switches off as inductor valley current reaches zero. Here, the load current is less than half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple in CCM. Turning off the low-side MOSFET at zero current reduces switching loss, and preventing negative current conduction reduces conduction loss. Power conversion efficiency is thus higher in a DEM converter than an equivalent forced-PWM CCM converter. With DEM operation, the duration that both power MOSFETs remain off progressively increases as load current decreases.
