DC-DC CONVERTER OPERATING MODES
The DC-DC Converters have three distinct operating modes, which are as follows:
The DC-DC Converter operating modes are selected using the register bits described in Table 84.
In Active mode, the DC-DC Converters operate to their highest level of performance. The DC-DC
Converters will automatically select PWM or Pulse-Skipping operation according to the load
condition. This enables the power efficiency to be maximised across a wide range of load conditions.
It is possible to force the Converters to use the higher performance PWM mode by setting
DC1_FRC_PWM or DC2_FRC_PWM.
In Standby/Hysteretic Mode, the DC-DC Converters use a hysteretic mode of operation in order to
reduce power consumption. The load regulation is degraded in this mode of operation.
In Hibernate Mode, the DC-DC Converters are either disabled or are reconfigured as low power
LDOs, according to user settings.
Table 84 DC-DC Converter Operating Modes
When the WM8400 is placed in Soft Sleep or Deep Sleep Modes (see Table 79), this may take
precedence over the _SLEEP and _ACTIVE register selections. In summary, the DC-DC Converter
Operating mode is selected according to the following truth table for DC1. The equivalent logic
applies for DC2 Converter.
Note that the DC-DC Converters must also be enabled in hardware or software as described earlier.
