6.4.2 Forced Continuous-Conduction Mode

If FCCM mode is selected through the CFG3-5 pins, the controller operates in continuous-conduction mode (CCM) during light-load conditions. See the Multifunction Configuration (CFG3-5) Pins section on how to select the FCCM mode.

During FCCM, the switching frequency is maintained to an almost constant level over the entire load range, which is designed for applications requiring tight control of the switching frequency and output ripple at the cost of reduced light-load efficiency. Use Equation 8 to calculate the typical light-load operation boundary. Below this calculated load current, the device operates in FCCM.
