Active Low Current Mode
Full Duty Cycle
Figure 8-6.
The boost converter enters Active Low Current Mode from Active Regulated Mode when output
voltage reaches its maximum and duty cycle is at its minimum. In practice, this means that the
load current drops below a threshold. The threshold varies with converter input voltage and tem-
perature but a typical plot is shown in

and high load currents (I
Current Mode. Using Full Duty Cycle mode the boost converter can be forced to enter Active
Low Current Mode at input voltages lower than those shown in
“Full Duty Cycle” on page
In Low Current Mode the boost converter stops switching and reduces current consumption to a
minimum, while still remaining active. Provided there are no external loads active the boost con-
verter enters Low Current Mode automatically when the microcontroller goes into Power Down
Mode (see
In this mode of operation the converter periodically reaches its duty cycle low limit. When this
happens the converter stops switching and the output voltage starts dropping. The converter
starts switching again when the output voltage has decreased to the low limit of Active Low Cur-
rent Mode. This results in a periodical pattern as illustrated in
If the output voltage, V
verter goes back to Start Mode. In addition, the firmware can instruct the converter to leave this
mode and enter Stop Mode. See
By default, the boost converter keeps V
ing waveform. It is possible to bypass the duty cycle regulation and lock the duty cycle at its
maximum, resulting in a V
dropping when the boost converter enters Low Current Mode. See
