6.4.1 Forced Continuous-Conduction Mode

When the operation mode is set to FCCM through the FCCM bit in the PMBus (D0h) SYS_CFG_USER1 command, the controller operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) during light-load conditions. During CCM, the switching frequency maintained to an almost constant level over the entire load range which is designed for applications requiring tight control of the switching frequency at the cost of lower efficiency at light loads.

When FCCM is selected, the TPS544B27W device operates at CCM during the whole soft-start period as well as the nominal operation.
