Active Mode

The LMR16030 is in active mode when VEN is above the precision enable threshold and VIN is above its UVLO level. The simplest way to enable the LMR16030 is to connect the EN pin to VIN pin. This allows self start-up when the input voltage is in the operation range: 4.3 V to 60 V. Please refer to Section 7.3.6 for details on setting these operating levels.

In active mode, depending on the load current, the LMR16030 is in one of three modes:

  1. Continuous conduction mode (CCM) with fixed switching frequency when load current is above half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple.
  2. Discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with fixed switching frequency when load current is lower than half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple in CCM operation.
  3. Sleep mode when internal COMP voltage drop to 400 mV at very light load.
