How can the converter IC improve its operational efficiency?

Many converter IC can operate in two different modes, one for high load currents and another for lower load currents. They operate in the conventional PWM (pulse width modulation) at normal loads and switch to a second mode for low current loads. Switching at low current loads can be with pulse frequency mode (PFM) or pulse skip mode in which the IC skips clock cycles.
