8.4.2 Auto PFM Mode

The TPS61379-Q1 enters auto PFM mode by pulling the MODE/SYNC pin to logic low for more than five switching cycles or leave the pin floating. The TPS61379-Q1 improves the efficiency at light load when operating in PFM mode. When the output current decreases to a certain level, the output voltage of the error amplifier is clamped by the internal circuit. If the output current reduces further, the inductor current through the high-side switch is clamped but not further lowered. Pulses are skipped to improve the efficiency at light load.
