The instability can be corrected by modification of the peak
current information slope. One of the methods to alter the
peak current information is to add a positive going ramp to
the output of the current sensing circuitry.
The SC4808B-2 achieves this by using an internal slope
compensation circuit. The oscillator ramp is internally buff-
ered and an internal 25kOhms resistor in conjunction with
an external resistor at the CS pin will program the level of
slope compensation.
RSlope Comp
The Peak current information is sensed and the result is
realistically summed to the buffered oscillator ramp, as
shown above. The value of the external resistor R
will determine the percentage of the slope compensation.
As the value for R
tion becomes more dominant and the mode of operation
becomes more current mode. At the same time the slope
of the current information is modified to provide the slope
compensation.

If the R
dominant signal and more voltage mode of operation is
achieved. As it can be calculated from the second formula
below, a 100% voltage mode operation can be achieved by
choosing R
100% current mode of operation is required, R
reduced to zero and the contribution from the internal ramp
is completely eliminated.

Next page illustrates how the buffered oscillator ramp is
used to modify the sensed inductor current.
It should be noted that in order for the slope compensa-
tion to be effective, the current sensed signal slope should
be at least 50% less steeper than the oscillator positive
ramp slope. The slope will include the magnetizing current
of the transformer and the inductor output current in iso-
lated applications. In non-isolated applications, the slope
will only include the inductor output current.
