7.4.6 Forced PWM Mode

In forced PWM mode, the TPS61290x keeps the inductor current being continuous for the whole load range. When the load current decreases, the output of the internal error amplifier decreases as well to lower the inductor peak current and delivers less power from input to output. The high-side FET is not turned off even if the current through the FET goes negative, which ensuring that the inductor current is continuous. Meanwhile, the switching frequency does not change significantly with the load. In this mode, the minimal switching frequency is limited to 375kHz when input voltage is close to output voltage.
