PRODUCTION DATA
With the inductor and sense resistor value selected, the value of the ramp capacitor (CRAMP) necessary for the emulation ramp circuit is given by:
where
For the current design example, the ramp capacitor is calculated as:
The next lowest standard value, 270 pF, was selected for CRAMP. An NPO capacitor with 5% or better tolerance is recommended. Note that selecting a capacitor value lower than the calculated value increases the slope compensation. Furthermore, selecting a ramp capacitor substantially lower or higher than the calculated value also results in incorrect PWM operation.
For VOUT > 5 V, internal slope compensation provided by the LM5088 may not be adequate for certain operating conditions especially at low input voltages. A pullup resistor may be added from the VCC to RAMP pin to increase the slope compensation. Optimal slope compensation current can be calculated from Equation 14.
and RRAMP is given by Equation 15.
