8.3.1 Power Save Mode

As the load current decreases, the device enters Power Save Mode (PSM) operation. PSM occurs when the inductor current becomes discontinuous, which is when it reaches 0 A during a switching cycle. Power Save Mode is based on a fixed on-time architecture, as shown in Equation 1.

Equation 1. GUID-5E8DE7C8-2673-4E84-9FBA-2E70D9362E85-low.gif

In Power Save Mode, the output voltage rises slightly above the nominal output voltage. This effect is minimized by increasing the output capacitor or inductor value.

When VIN decreases to typically 15% above the VOUT, the TPS6286x does not enter Power Save Mode, regardless of the load current. The device maintains output regulation in PWM mode.
