2.10 Eco-mode Operation
At light load currents, the TPS54231 is designed to operate in pulse skipping Eco-mode. When the peak inductor
current is lower than 100 mA typical, the device enters Eco-mode.
Figure 2-11 shows Eco-mode operation, channel 1(C1) shows the output voltage while channel 2(C2) shows the
switching node (PH).

2.11 Thermal Characteristics
This section shows a thermal image of the TPS54231EVM-372 running at 28 V input and 2 A load. These are
the worst case conditions for maximum power loss. There is no air flow and the ambient temperature is 25°C.
The peak temperature of the IC (85.8°C) is well below the maximum recommended operating condition listed in
the datasheet of 150°C.
