Normal Operation

During normal operating mode, the IC can be used in peak current mode or voltage mode control. When the converter is operating in peak current mode, the controller regulates the converter's peak current and duty cycle. When the IC is used in voltage mode control, the controller regulates the power converter's duty cycle. The regulation of the system's peak current and duty cycle can be achieved with the use of the integrated error amplifier and external feedback circuitry.
