The minimum inductance value which can prevent subharmonic oscillation without RSL is calculated using Equation 24. If the selected inductance value is less than the minimum inductance calculated using Equation 24, add a slope compensation resistor (RSL) externally.
1.2 is the recommended margin to cover non-ideal factors.
If needed, use Equation 25 to find the RSL value which matches the typical amount of slope compensation.
In this example, RSL is not populated because the selected inductance value, 1.5 µH, is greater than the minimum required inductance from Equation 24.
After selecting RS and RSL, the peak inductor current at current limit (IPEAK-CL) can be calculated. Setting the inductor saturation current rating higher than the IPEAK-CL is recommended.
TD is the typical propagation delay of current limit.
