Below the benefits from the slope compensation become apparent. The top wave form shows the stable operation
before the perturbation. The second wave form shows the perturbation and the instability caused from it if no slope
compensation is added to the current information. The last wave form shows the slope compensation and the effect of
it. The increase in the slope of the current information results in an early termination of the inductor current, hence a
reduction in the amount of error. As the cycle is repeated, the perturbation is reduced and finally eliminated.

Note: After a few cycles the perturbation
becomes larger, and causes instability.
Note: After a few cycles the perturbation
disappears and stable operation returns.
