Also the negative input to differential with an external clock using the PLL, apply a CMOS compat- peak current comparator and an input to the reverse cur- ible clock with a frequency between 250kHz and 850kHz. rent comparator. Normally connected to the drain of the To select pulse-skipping operation at light loads, tie this external P-channel MOSFETs, the drain of the external pin to VIN. Grounding this pin selects forced continuous N-channel MOSFET, and the inductor. operation, which allows the inductor current to reverse.
