PRODUCTION DATA.
For peak current mode control, sub-harmonic oscillation occurs with a duty cycle greater than 50% and is characterized by alternating wide and narrow pulses at the SW pin. By adding a slope compensating ramp equal to at least one-half the inductor current down-slope, any tendency toward sub-harmonic oscillation is damped within one switching cycle. For design simplification, the LM5141-Q1 has an internal slope compensation ramp added to the current sense signal.
For the slope compensation ramp to dampen sub-harmonic oscillation, the inductor value should be calculated based on the following guidelines (Equation 15 assumes an inductor ripple current 30%):
A standard inductor value of 1.5 µH was selected
The peak-to-peak inductor current is:
