SNVSCS2 December 2024 LM25190
PRODUCTION DATA
For extended minimum input voltage, LM25190 enters the low dropout (LDO) mode if the required duty cycle is greater than the maximum duty cycle that is limited by the minimum off time. During the LDO mode, the LM25190 extends the on-time pulse until the PWM latch is reset by the current sense ramp exceeding the controller compensation voltage. The LM25190 skips up to 15 tOFF cycles to allow the controller to extend the duty cycle. Figure 6-1 shows the normal PWM mode to LDO mode transition.
The approximate input voltage level at which this occurs is given by Equation 2.
