Slope compensation

The Constant Frequency, Peak Current-Mode topology has the advantage of very easy loop

compensation with output ceramic capacitors (reduced cost and size of the application) and

fast transient response. In addition, the intrinsic peak-current measurement simplifies the

current limit protection, avoiding undesired saturation of the inductor.

On the other side, this topology has a drawback: there is inherent open loop instability when

operating with a duty-ratio greater than 0.5. This phenomenon is known as "Sub-Harmonic

Instability" and can be avoided by adding an external ramp to the one coming from the

sensed current. This compensating technique, based on the additional ramp, is called

"Slope Compensation". In figure 11, where the switching duty-cycle is higher than 0.5, the

small perturbation

∆IL dies away in subsequent cycles thanks to the slope compensation

and the system reverts to a stable situation.
