8.3.19 Low Dropout Mode for Extended Minimum Input Voltage (Buck)

When the soft start is finished, the buck channel can enter the LDO mode if the required duty cycle is greater than the maximum duty cycle which is limited by tOFF-MIN-BUCK. During the LDO mode, the buck channels individually extends its on-time pulse to the next cycle until the PWM comparator trips. The buck channel turns off the high-side driver for 110 ns by force when the replenish pulse counter detects 15 cycles of consecutive low-side driver pulse skipping. The minimum input supply voltage which can achieve the target output voltage during the LDO mode is estimated from the following equation.

Once HO driver turns on, the device keeps the HO driver on until the minimum peak current limit is satisfied. Random pulse skipping happens when the required peak current is less than the minimum peak current.Random pulse skipping happens when the required on-time is less than the minimum on-time.
