Their main (P-channel MOSFET) and synchronous Burst Mode Operation (N-channel MOSFET) switches are internal. During normal operation, the internal top power MOSFET is turned on The LTC3405A series parts are capable of Burst Mode each cycle when the oscillator sets the RS latch, and turned operation in which the internal power MOSFETs operate off when the current comparator, I intermittently based on load demand. To enable Burst COMP, resets the RS latch. The peak inductor current at which I Mode operation, simply connect the MODE pin to GND. To COMP resets the RS latch, is controlled by the output of error amplifier EA. disable Burst Mode operation and enable PWM pulse When the load current increases, the output voltage de- skipping mode, connect the MODE pin to VIN or drive it creases which causes a slight decrease in V with a logic high (V FB relative to MODE > 1.5V). In this mode, the the 1.2V reference, which in turn, causes the EA amplifier’s efficiency is lower at light loads, but becomes comparable output voltage to increase until the average inductor to Burst Mode operation when the output load exceeds current matches the new load current. While the top 25mA. The advantage of pulse skipping mode is lower MOSFET is off, the bottom MOSFET is turned on until output ripple and less interference to audio circuitry. either the inductor current starts to reverse, as indicated by the current reversal comparator IRCMP, or the beginning of the next clock cycle. 3405a1518fa 6
