3.3.4 Efficiency

Figure 3-2 shows the efficiency of the TPS542A52EVM-059 when operating in forced continuous-conduction mode (FCCM). The light-load efficiency can be improved by operating the converter in DCM as described in the TPS542A52 data sheet. The default setting on the EVM is FCCM operation.
