7.3.5 Mode Selection (PFM/FPWM)

The TPS631012A and TPS631013A have two modes of PFM and FPWM. During PFM mode operation, the devices feature a power save mode to maintain the highest efficiency over the full operating output current range. In PFM mode the devices automatically change the converter operation from CCM to pulse frequency modulation. During FPWM mode, the devices use PWM for all operating conditions regardless of the output current to achieve minimum output ripple.

The PFM/FPWM mode selection is controlled by the FPWM bit in Register CONTROL2:

  • When FPWM = 0b0, the devices work in PFM mode
  • When FPWM = 0b1, the devices work in FPWM mode
