LM5164: application waveform

Part Number: LM5164


Tool/software:

Hi Team,

Customer is testing LM5164 for their project, and they found the empty load waveform looks a bit strange(high ripple), could you please check whether the waveform is correct or not. Thanks.

Application conditions:

Vin=48V, Vlout=5V, Iout=1A

Current issue:

1. Vout power-off waveform, it seems there are lots of ripples on empty load waveform, but it is smooth in 0.5A load waveform:

 Empty load

 0.5A load

2. High ripple in empty load Vout.

 Empty load, Vpp is about 80mV

 0.5A load, Vpp = 46mV

Question:

1. High ripple should be related to light-load and empty load, but I don't see PFM in the DS, could you please check which mode is applied on the empty load and why the ripple is larger?

BRs.
