comes to point that its rippled valley touches zero level, which is the boundary between continuous conduction
and discontinuous conduction modes. The rectifying MOSFET is turned off when the zero inductor current is
detected. As the load current further decreases, the converter runs into discontinuous conduction mode. The on-
time is kept almost the same as it was in the continuous conduction mode so that it takes longer time to
discharge the output capacitor with smaller load current to the level of the reference voltage. This makes the
switching frequency lower, proportional to the load current, and keeps the light load efficiency high. The
transition point to the light load operation IOUT(LL) current can be calculated in 方程式 1.

7.3.3 Soft Start and Pre-Biased Soft Start
The TPS562201 and TPS562208 have an internal 1.0-ms soft start. When the EN pin becomes high, the internal
soft-start function begins ramping up the reference voltage to the PWM comparator. If the output capacitor is pre-
biased at start-up, the devices initiate switching and start ramping up only after the internal reference voltage
becomes greater than the feedback voltage, VFB. This scheme ensures that the converters ramp up smoothly
into regulation point.
7.3.4 Current Protection
The output overcurrent limit (OCL) is implemented using a cycle-by-cycle valley detect control circuit. The switch
current is monitored during the OFF state by measuring the low-side FET drain to source voltage. This voltage is
proportional to the switch current. To improve accuracy, the voltage sensing is temperature compensated.
During the on-time of the high-side FET switch, the switch current increases at a linear rate determined by Vin,
Vout, the on-time, and the output inductor value. During the on-time of the low-side FET switch, this current
decreases linearly. The average value of the switch current is the load current, Iout. If the monitored current is
above the OCL level, the converter keeps the low-side FET on and delays the creation of a new set pulse, even
the voltage feedback loop requires one, until the current level becomes OCL level or lower. In subsequent
switching cycles, the on-time is set to a fixed value and the current is monitored in the same manner.
There are some important considerations for this type of over-current protection. The load current is higher than
the overcurrent threshold by one half of the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. Also, when the current is being
limited, the output voltage tends to fall as the demanded load current can be higher than the current available
from the converter. This can cause the output voltage to fall. When the VFB voltage falls below the UVP
threshold voltage, the UVP comparator detects it, then the device will shut down after the UVP delay time
(typically 24 µs) and restart after the hiccup time (typically 15 ms).
When the overcurrent condition is removed, the output voltage returns to the regulated value.
7.3.5 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) Protection
UVLO protection monitors the internal regulator voltage. When the voltage is lower than UVLO threshold voltage,
the device is shut off. This protection is non-latching.
7.3.6 Thermal Shutdown
The device monitors the temperature of itself. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically 160°C),
the device is shut off. This is a non-latch protection.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Normal Operation
When the input voltage is above the UVLO threshold and the EN voltage is above the enable threshold, the
TPS562200 can operate in their normal switching modes. Normal continuous conduction mode (CCM) occurs
when the minimum switch current is above 0 A. In CCM, the TPS562208 operates at a quasi-fixed frequency of
580 kHz.
