7.3.6 Slope Compensation

The TPS55330 has internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillations. The sensed current slope of boost converter can be expressed as Equation 4:

Equation 4. TPS55330 eq4_Sn_lvsbd4.gif

The slope compensation dv/dt can be calculated using Equation 5.

Equation 5. TPS55330 eq5_Se_lvsbd4.gif

In a converter with current mode control, in addition to the output voltage feedback loop, the inner current loop including the inductor current sampling effect as well as the slope compensation on the small signal response should be taken into account, which can be modeled as seen in Equation 6:

Equation 6. TPS55330 eq6_hes_lvsbd4.gif

where

  • RSENSE (15mΩ) is the equivalent current sense resistor
  • RFREQ is timing resistor used to set frequency
  • D is the duty cycle

NOTE

If Sn << Se, the converter operates in voltage mode control rather than current mode control, and Equation 6 is no longer valid.
