PFM Operation

To minimize quiescent current during light load operation, the LM2776 allows PFM or pulse-skipping operation. By allowing the charge pump to switch less when the output current is less than 40 mA, the quiescent current drawn from the power source is minimized. The frequency of pulsed operation is not limited and can drop into the sub-1-kHz range when unloaded. As the load increases, the frequency of pulsing increases until it transitions to constant frequency. The fundamental switching frequency of the LM2776 is 2 MHz.
