Light Load Operation for VDD1 Buck and VDD2 Buck

When the load is light on the VDD1 or VDD2 output, the buck enters pulse skip mode after the inductor current crosses zero. This is Eco-mode, which improves the efficiency at light load with a lower switching frequency. Each switching cycle is followed by a period of energy saving sleep time. The sleep time ends when the VDD1SNS or VDD2SNS voltage falls below the Eco-mode threshold voltage. As the output current decreases, the period time between switching pulses increases.
