PRODUCTION DATA
High peak currents associated with capacitive loads necessitate careful grounding techniques. Timing and bypass capacitors must be connected close to pin 5 in a single point ground. The transistor and 5k potentiometer are used to sample the oscillator waveform and apply an adjustable ramp to pin 3.
A fraction of the oscillator ramp can be resistively summed with the current sense signal to provide slope compensation for converters requiring duty cycles over 50%. Note that capacitor, C, forms a filter with R2 to suppress the leading edge switch spikes.
