A hysteretic comparator is used in place of the PWM error

amplifier and a current-limit comparator senses the inductor

current. A one-shot starts the switching cycle by momentarily

turning on the low side MOSFET to insure the high side drive

boost capacitor, Cbst, is fully charged. The high side MOS-

FET is turned on and current ramps up in the inductor, L1.

The high side drive is turned off when either the peak voltage

on the input of the current-sense comparator exceeds the

threshold, typically 35mV, or the output voltage rises above

the hysteretic threshold of the output voltage comparator.

Once the high side MOSFET is turned off, the load current

discharges the output capacitor, causing V

OUT to fall. The

cycle repeats when V

OUT falls below the lower threshold, –

1%.

The maximum peak inductor current depends on the skip-

mode current-limit threshold and the value of the current-

sense resistor, R

CS.

Figure 6 shows the improvement in efficiency that skip mode

makes when at lower output currents.
