7.4.2.3 Forced Diode Emulation Operation in FPWM Mode

During soft start, the device forces diode emulation while the SS pin voltage is less than 1.5V. When the SS pin is greater than 1.5V, the device reduces the zero current detection (ZCD) threshold down to –145mV. The peak-to-peak inductor current must satisfy Equation 14 for a proper FPWM operation at no load.

Equation 14. I P P × R D S ( o n ) 2 < 145 m V
