Hi,All.
The TPS60240 has a buck-boost, but is the operation during step-down the same as that of a linear regulator?

Hello Brigitte,
Is it possible to prove from the structure that the output current from the Vout pin does not exceed the input current to the Vin pin, like a linear regulator?

Hello user648367,
You mean when VIN is above VOUT, correct? I need to check with the designer.
In the case when VIN is smaller than VOUT, the input current is bigger than the output current.
Hello Brigitte,
Yes, I mean when VIN is above VOUT. (step-down operation)

Hello user6483867,
I will get back to you with an answer to the input current with input voltage above output voltage in the next days, latest beginning of next week.
