The LM25139-Q1
provides internal slope compensation for stable operation with peak
current-mode control and a duty cycle greater than 50%. Use Equation 9 to calculate the buck inductance to provide a slope compensation
contribution equal to one times the inductor down slope.
Equation 9.
- A lower inductance value generally increases the peak-to-peak inductor current, which minimizes size and cost, and improves transient response at the cost of reduced light-load efficiency due to higher cores losses and peak currents.
- A higher inductance value generally decreases the
peak-to-peak inductor current, reducing switch peak and RMS currents at the cost of
requiring larger output capacitors to meet load-transient specifications.
