Light Load Efficiency Optimization
The
ADP1055
can be programmed to optimize performance
when the output current drops below a certain level. The light
load and deep light load mode thresholds are set in a manner to
reduce losses and increase efficiency. A hysteresis for light load
mode and deep light load mode is provided on the thresholds to
avoid oscillations. The thresholds for light load mode and deep
light load mode can also be programmed in the IOUT setting
window as shown in Figure 87.
Figure 87. Light Load Mode and Deep Light Load Mode Thresholds
When operating in light load mode or deep light load mode, the
light load mode flag is set as shown in the
Monitor
tab. In both
situations, the light load filter settings are used. In combination
with the pulse skipping function, the standby power
consumption can be reduced.
