7.3.11 Light Load Efficiency / Eco-Mode

The TPSM84209 device is designed to operate in high-efficiency, pulse-skipping mode under light load conditions. As the load current on the output is decreased, a point is reached where the energy delivered by a single switching pulse is more than the load can absorb. This causes the output voltage to rise slightly. This rise in output voltage is sensed by the feedback loop, and the device responds by skipping one or more switching cycles until the output voltages falls back to the setpoint. At very light loads or no load, many switching cycles are skipped. The observed effect during this pulse-skipping mode of operation is an increase in the peak-to-peak ripple voltage and a decrease in the ripple frequency. The load current where pulse skipping begins is a function of the input voltage and output voltage. Figure 26 is a plot of the pulse-skipping threshold current as a function of input voltage for a number of popular output voltages.
