specifications are at steady-state only.
(2) Shutdown current includes leakage current of PFET.
(3) I
q
specified here is when the part is not switching under test mode conditions. For operating quiescent current at no load, refer to
datasheet curves.
(4) FB has 200 kΩ to SGND.
(5) Current limit is built-in, fixed, and not adjustable.
(6) Care should be taken to keep the VCON pin voltage less than the VIN pin voltage as this can place the part into a manufacturing test
mode.
(7) Entering Bypass Mode V
IN
is compared to the programmed output voltage (2.5 × VCON). When V
IN
− (2.5 × VCON) falls below V

, the Bypass FET turns on, and the switching FET turns on.
(8) Bypass Mode is exited when V

BP,POS
longer than T
BP,POS
, and PWM mode resumes. The hysteresis for
the bypass detection threshold V
BP,POS
-V
BP,NEG
will always be positive and will be approximately 50 mV.
