7.3.12 Slope Compensation

The LM5141 provides internal slope compensation to ensure stable operation with a duty cycle greater than 50%. To correctly use the internal slope compensation, the inductor value must be calculated based on the following guidelines (Equation 12 assumes an inductor ripple current of 30%):

Equation 13. LM25141 equation_12_snvsaj6.gif
  • Lower inductor values increase the peak-to-peak inductor current, which minimizes size and cost and improves transient response at the cost of reduced efficiency due to higher peak currents.
  • Higher inductance values decrease the peak-to-peak inductor current typically increases efficiency by reducing the RMS current at the cost of requiring larger output capacitors to meet load-transient specifications.
