Low Dropout Operation
The device can operate at 100% duty cycle (no switching; PMOS switch completely on) for low dropout support.
In this way the output voltage will be controlled down to the lowest possible input voltage. When the device
operates near 100% duty cycle, output voltage ripple is approximately 25 mV.
The minimum input voltage needed to support the output voltage:

Out of Regulation
When any of the Buck outputs are taken out of regulation (below 85% of the output level) the device will start a
shutdown sequence and all other outputs will switch off normally. The device will restart when the forced out-of-
regulation condition is removed.
