6.4.2 Power Save Mode

The TPS552852 improves the efficiency at light load condition with PFM mode. When the TPS552852 operates at light load condition, the output of the internal error amplifier decreases to make the inductor peak current down to deliver less power to the load. When the output current further reduces, the current through the inductor decreases to zero during the switch-off time. When the TPS552852 works in buck mode, after the inductor current becomes zero, the low-side switch of the buck side is turned off to prevent the reverse current from output to ground. When the TPS552852 works in boost mode, after the inductor current becomes zero, the high side-switch of the boost side is turned off to prevent the reverse current from output to input. The TPS552852 resumes switching until the output voltage drops. Thus, PFM mode reduces switching cycles and eliminates the power loss by the reverse inductor current to get high efficiency in light load condition.
