8.4.2 Active Mode

The LMR23630 is in active mode when VEN is above the precision enable threshold, VIN and VCC are above their respective UVLO level. The simplest way to enable the LMR23630 is to connect the EN pin to VIN pin. This allows self startup when the input voltage is in the operating range 4 V to 36 V. See Section 8.3.5 and Section 8.3.4 for details on setting these operating levels.

In active mode, depending on the load current, the LMR23630 is in one of four modes:

  1. Continuous conduction mode (CCM) with fixed switching frequency when load current is above half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple (for both PFM and FPWM options).
  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 (only for PFM option).
  3. Pulse frequency modulation mode (PFM) when switching frequency is decreased at very light load (only for PFM option).
  4. Forced pulse width modulation mode (FPWM) with fixed switching frequency even at light load (only for FPWM option).
