The sample & hold DC level illustrated in Figure 3 is derived
from a measurement of the re-circulating (or free-wheeling)
diode current. The diode current flows through the current
sense resistor connected between the CS and CSG pins. The
voltage across the sense resistor is sampled and held just
prior to the onset of the next conduction interval of the buck
switch. The diode current sensing and sample & hold provide
the DC level for the reconstructed current signal. The positive
slope inductor current ramp is emulated by an external ca-
pacitor connected from the RAMP pin to GND and an internal
voltage controlled current source. The ramp current source
that emulates the inductor current is a function of the VIN and
VOUT voltages per the following equation:
Proper selection of the RAMP capacitor depends upon the
selected value of the output inductor and the current sense
resistor (R

pendence on the load current. That is:

RAMP and GND pins of the IC.
For duty cycles greater than 50%, peak current mode control
circuits are subject to sub-harmonic oscillation. Sub-harmonic

oscillation is normally characterized by alternating wide and
narrow pulses at the SW pin. Adding a fixed slope voltage
ramp (slope compensation) to the current sense signal pre-
vents this oscillation. The 25 µA offset current supplied by the
emulated current source provides a fixed slope to the ramp
signal. In some high output voltage, high duty cycles applica-
tions; additional slope compensation may be required. In
these applications, a pull-up resistor may be added between
the RAMP and VCC pins to increase the ramp slope com-
pensation. A formula to configure pull-up resistor is shown in
Applications Information section.
Dropout Voltage Reduction
The LM25088 features unique circuitry to reduce the dropout
voltage. Dropout voltage is defined as the difference between
the minimum input voltage to maintain regulation and the out-
put voltage (VIN
the lowest input voltage at which the converter maintains reg-
ulation. In a buck converter, dropout voltage primarily de-
pends upon the maximum duty cycle. The maximum duty
cycle is dependant on the oscillator frequency and minimum
off-time.
An approximation for the dropout voltage is:

- Vout). Dropout voltage thus determines
