and
achieve different compensation laws. A capacitor
will provide an integrator function, thus eliminating
the DC static error, and a resistance in series
leads to a flat gain at higher frequency, insuring a
correct phase margin. This configuration is
illustrated in figure 18.
As shown in figure 18 an additional noise filtering
capacitor of 2.2 nF is generally needed to avoid
any high frequency interference.
It can also be interesting to implement a slope
compensation when working in continuous mode
with duty cycle higher than 50%. Figure 19 shows
such a configuration. Note that R1 and C2 build
the classical compensation network, and Q1 is
injecting the slope compensation with the correct
polarity from the oscillator sawtooth.

capability, when connected to an external
frequency source. Figure 20 shows one possible
schematic to be adapted depending on the
specific needs. If the proposed schematic is used,
the pulse duration must be kept at a low value
(500ns is sufficient) for minimizing consumption.
The optocoupler must be able to provide 20mA
through the optotransistor.
