6.4 Device Functional Modes

In light load condition, the TPSM852892 can work in PFM or forced PWM mode to meet different application requirements. PFM mode decreases switching frequency to reduce the switching loss thus it gets high efficiency at light load condition. The FPWM mode keeps the switching frequency unchanged to avoid undesired low switching frequency but the efficiency becomes lower than that of PFM mode.
