Operation Description
During PFM operation, the converter positions the output
voltage slightly higher than the nominal output voltage during
PWM operation, allowing additional headroom for voltage
drop during a load transient from light to heavy load. The
PFM comparators sense the output voltage via the feedback
pin and control the switching of the output FETs such that the
output voltage ramps between ~ 0.6% and ~ 1.7% above the
nominal PWM output voltage. If the output voltage is below

the ‘high’ PFM comparator threshold, the PMOS power
switch is turned on. It remains on until the output voltage
reaches the ‘high’ PFM threshold or the peak current ex-
ceeds the I
current in PFM mode is: I
Once the PMOS power switch is turned off, the NMOS
power switch is turned on until the inductor current ramps to
zero. When the NMOS zero-current condition is detected,
the NMOS power switch is turned off. If the output voltage is
below the ‘high’ PFM comparator threshold (see Figure 8),
the PMOS switch is again turned on and the cycle is re-
peated until the output reaches the desired level. Once the
output reaches the ‘high’ PFM threshold, the NMOS switch is
turned on briefly to ramp the inductor current to zero and
then both output switches are turned off and the part enters
an extremely low power mode. Quiescent supply current
during this ‘sleep’ mode is 16µA (typ), which allows the part
to achieve high efficiency under extremely light load condi-
tions.
If the load current should increase during PFM mode (see
Figure 8) causing the output voltage to fall below the ‘low2’
PFM threshold, the part will automatically transition into
fixed-frequency PWM mode. When V

transition happens at ~ 115mA.
