Slope compensation
The constant frequency, peak current-mode topology has the advantage of very easy loop
compensation with output ceramic caps (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 an 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
the small perturbation ΔI
and the system reverts to a stable situation.
The SLOPE pin allows to properly set the amount of slope compensation connecting a
simple resistor R
starts at 35% (typ.) of each switching period and its slope is given by the following equation:

To avoid sub-harmonic instability, the compensating slope should be at least half the slope
of the inductor current during the off-phase when the duty-cycle is greater than 50%. The
