FPWM Mode – Light Load Operation

In FPWM mode, frequency is maintained while lightly loaded. To maintain frequency, a limited reverse current is allowed to flow through the inductor. Reverse current is limited by reverse current limit circuitry, see the Electrical Characteristics for reverse current limit values.
GUID-20220126-SS0I-9VD9-KMDK-CC1TV1806ZBG-low.svg
In FPWM mode, continuous conduction (CCM) is possible even if IOUT is less than half of Iripple.
Figure 7-19 FPWM Mode Operation

For all devices, in FPWM mode, frequency reduction is still available if output voltage is high enough to command minimum on time even while lightly loaded, allowing good behavior during faults that involve output being pulled up.
