The inner current-loop is unstable (sub-harmonic
oscillation) unless the inductor current up-slope is steeper
than the inductor current down-slope. For stable
operation above 50% duty-cycle, a compensation ramp
is added to the sensed-current. In the SC4508A the
compensation ramp is made switching frequency
dependent. The slope of the compensation ramp is:
The slope of the internal compensation ramp is above
the minimal slope requirement for current loop stability
and is sufficient for all the applications. With the inner
current loop stable, the output voltage is then regulated
with the outer voltage feedback loop. A simplified
equivalent circuit model of the buck converter with
current mode control is shown in Figure 7.

compensation design is to select the compensation
network consisting of C
feedback resistors R
such that the converter output voltage is regulated with
satisfactory dynamic performance.
With the output voltage V
and the feedback resistor values are determined using
the equations given in the “Output Voltage Setting”
