9 / 32 page LTC1871-7 9 18717fc OPERATION In applications where fixed frequency operation is more critical than low current efficiency, or where the lowest output ripple is desired, pulse-skip mode operation should be used and the MODE/SYNC pin should be connected to the INTVCC pin. This allows discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation down to near the limit defined by the chip’s minimum on-time (about 175ns). Below this output current level, the converter will begin to skip cycles in order to maintain output regulation. Figures 3 and 4 show the light load switching waveforms for Burst Mode and pulse-skip mode operation for the converter in Figure 1. Burst Mode Operation Burst Mode operation is selected by leaving the MODE/ SYNC pin unconnected or by connecting it to ground. In normal operation, the range on the ITHpincorrespondingto no load to full load is 0.30V to 1.2V. In Burst Mode opera- tion, if the error amplifier EA drives the ITH voltage below 0.525V, the buffered ITH input to the current comparator C1 will be clamped at 0.525V (which corresponds to 25% of maximum load current). The inductor current peak is then held at approximately 30mV divided by the power MOSFET RDS(ON). If the ITH pin drops below 0.30V, the Burst Mode comparator B1 will turn off the power MOSFET and scale back the quiescent current of the IC to 250μA (sleep mode). In this condition, the load current will be supplied by the output capacitor until the ITH voltage rises above the 50mV hysteresis of the burst comparator. At light loads, short bursts of switching (where the average inductor current is 20% of its maximum value) followed by long periods of sleep will be observed, thereby greatly improving converter efficiency. Oscilloscope waveforms il- lustrating Burst Mode operation are shown in Figure 3. Pulse-Skip Mode Operation With the MODE/SYNC pin tied to a DC voltage above 2V, Burst Mode operation is disabled. The internal, 0.525V buffered ITH burst clamp is removed, allowing the ITH pin to directly control the current comparator from no load to full load. With no load, the ITH pin is driven below 0.30V, the power MOSFET is turned off and sleep mode is invoked. Oscilloscope waveforms illustrating this mode of operation are shown in Figure 4. When an external clock signal drives the MODE/SYNC pin at a rate faster than the chip’s internal oscillator, the oscillator will synchronize to it. In this synchronized mode, Burst Mode operation is disabled. The constant frequency associated with synchronized operation provides a more controlled noise spectrum from the converter, at the ex- pense of overall system efficiency of light loads. When the oscillator’s internal logic circuitry detects a synchronizing signal on the MODE/SYNC pin, the in- ternal oscillator ramp is terminated early and the slope compensation is increased by approximately 30%. As a result, in applications requiring synchronization, it is recommended that the nominal operating frequency of the IC be programmed to be about 75% of the external clock frequency.
