The LM5012-Q1 is in
active mode when VEN/UVLO is above the
precision enable threshold and the internal bias
rail is above its UV threshold. In COT active
mode, the LM5012-Q1
is in one of three modes depending on the load
current:
- CCM with fixed switching frequency when load current is above half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple
- The LM5012-Q1 enters
discontinuous conduction mode when the load current is less than half of the
peak-to-peak inductor current ripple in CCM operation.
- Current limit CCM with peak current limit
protection when an overcurrent condition is applied at the output
