to operate properly. Unfortunately, a price must be paid for
this convenience in the overall efficiency of the circuit. The
designer should note that the input and output grounds are
no longer common. Also, the addition of the current sense

Subharmonic Oscillation
current−mode control systems, where instability results
when duty cycle exceeds 50%. SHM only occurs in
switching regulators with a continuous inductor current.
This instability is not harmful to the converter and usually
does not affect the output voltage regulation. SHM will
increase the radiated EM noise from the converter and can
cause, under certain circumstances, the inductor to emit
high−frequency audible noise.
the inductor current is supplemented with internal “slope
compensation” to prevent any duty cycle instability from
carrying through to the next switching cycle. In the
NCP144X family, slope compensation is added during the
entire switch on−time, typically in the amount of
180 mA/ms.
presence of the onboard slope compensation. The simple
cure to this problem is more slope compensation to avoid the
unwanted oscillation. In that case, an external circuit, shown
in Figure 38, can be added to increase the amount of slope
compensation used. This circuit requires only a few
components and is “tacked on” to the compensation
network.

compensation is a trade−off between duty cycle stability and
transient response. The more slope compensation a designer
adds, the slower the transient response will be, due to the
external circuitry interfering with the proper operation of the
