PRODUCTION DATA
The UCC28750 device is a peak-current mode control device which offers high efficiency while overcoming drawbacks from voltage-mode control devices. However, when the application requires switching with a duty cycle greater than 50%, the application can suffer from an instability called sub-harmonic oscillation. Figure 7-19 shows what can happen to the switching operation and inductor current of a peak current mode control scheme. The perturbed current, without a compensated ramp, cannot return to a normal steady state operation. By adding a ramp onto the fixed threshold, this phenomenon is resolved.
The slope compensation ramp is programmed through a series resistor on the CS pin, and is shown in more detail in Section 8.2.3.3.
