LM20146: The threshold of Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM)

Part Number: LM20146

Hello, support team.

 

Is there any individual difference or lot difference in DCM threshold?

If so, how much is it?

 

Regards,

  • Dice,

    LM20146 detects the switch current zero crossing to enter diode emulation mode or DCM. There is very likely some part to part variation, but that parameter is not characterized. I have personally looked at this in the past and can tell you that it is not perfectly 0 A.
