6.4.2.6 Functional Modes at Light Load

In light load condition, the TPS61383-Q1 works in either auto PFM or forced PWM (FPWM) mode to meet different application requirements. Auto PFM mode decreases switching frequency under light load. This strategy reduces switching loss and improves higher efficiency at light load condition. FPWM mode force the converter to keep switching with fixed frequency under light load. FPWM improves EMI performance and reduces output ripple, but sacrifices light load efficiency compared to PFM mode.

TPS61383-Q1 is configured to auto PFM mode by default. Write I2C BST_PFM bit (Register 01H, BOOST_SET1) as 1 to switch to FPWM mode.

Care must be taken for backup power applications. FPWM allows reverse current into the backup battery when VOUT is higher than boost output target. Reverse current into BUB is typically not favorable for the backup battery. So TI recommends PFM mode during transition into boost mode.
