Control Loop
PWM and SKIP modes of operation
The MIC2186 can operate in either PWM (pulse width modu-
lated) or SKIP mode. The efficiency of the boost converter
can be improved at lower output loads by manually selecting
the skip mode of operation. The potential disadvantage of
skip mode is the variable switching frequency that accompa-
nies this mode of operation. The occurrence of switching
pulses depends on component values as well as line and load
conditions. PWM mode is the best choice of operation at
higher output loads. PWM mode has the advantages of lower
output ripple voltage and higher efficiencies at higher output
loads. Pulling the SKIP pin (pin 3) low will force the controller
to operate in PWM mode for all load conditions. Pulling the
SKIP pin high will force the controller to operate in SKIP
mode.
