TPSM828301: Is there a specified value for the current consumption when EN=HIGH and there is no load?

Tool/software:

As the title says, I am looking into current consumption under light load.

    Hello user6365974,

    thanks for reaching out in E2E.

    The current consumption when EN=HIGH and there is no load should be very close to the specified Operating Quiescence Current when operating in PSM (MODE pin = Low).

    The current thru the FB voltage divider has some impact on the additional current consumption.

    Best regards,

    Andreas.

    Thank you for your reply. I didn't quite understand what you meant by "device not switching" in the conditions. What exactly is the situation?

    Hi,

    in PSM mode the switching becomes discontinuous. With lowering the load the switching frequency is getting lower and lower. At very light load or no load there are only from time to time some switch events to recharge the output cap. Between these switch pulses the device is not switching, which represents this situation in the table.

    Best regards,

    Andreas.
