Part Number: LM61460-Q1

Hi team,

What are the requirement for LM61460-Q1 to enter PFM mode? and when will run at PWM mode?

Thanks.

    Hello

    I will direct you question to the application engineer for this device and

    we will get back to you as soon as possible.

    Thanks

    PFM is engaged at light load and controlled by peak inductor current value.

    Specifications ipeak_min_0 and ipeak_min_100 designate the boundary on peak inductor current value at transition.

    Ipeak_min is modulated with duty cycle, hence, the min and max of ipeak_min is given.

     

    If modulated frequency is undesirable and constant frequency operation is needed, factory programmable LM61460AFS opn is available.

    Hi Marshall,

    What is the meaning of Ipk_min_0 and I_pk_min_100? Also the pulse duration?

    Ipeak min varies with duty cycle, as ton time varies.

    Ipeak min percentage is based on duty cycle, or on time. As in PFM mode, switched waveform is no longer a true pulse width modulated waveform (ringing when FETs tristates), we describe the on time as pulse duration.A pulse duration of < 100nS would describe the on time for a duty cycle approaching 0% and a pulse duration of >1uS would describe the on time for a duty cycle approaching 100%.

    Inductor value will dictate on time.
