9.2.2.7 Slope Compensation

For stable current loop operation and to avoid subharmonic oscillations, the slope resistor is selected based on Equation 46.

For the calculation of the mSC value for the Slope Compensation use the effective inductance at the maximum inductor current (set by the current limit). With a RCS of 2.5mΩ the current limit is set to 20A (typically). For the used inductor the inductance does decrease to Leff =2.5μH at this peak current.

Equation 46. m S C = R C S f s w   ×   L e f f × 625 = 1.6

The next higher value has to be selected which is 2 and then be set via RCFG1 or the I2C interface.

This slope compensation results in “dead-beat” operation, in which the current loop disturbances die out in one switching cycle. Theoretically, a current mode loop is stable with half the “dead-beat” slope (considered already in the calculated slope resistor value in Equation 46). A larger msc value results in larger slope signal, which is better for noise immunity in the transition region (VIN is approximately equal to VOUT). A larger slope signal, however, restricts the achievable input voltage range for a given output voltage, switching frequency, and inductor. For this design, a slope compensation factor of 2 (see Configuration Pin CFG2) is selected for better transition region behavior while still providing the required VIN range.

The inductor derating is around 24% and the settling for 30% derating can be used (see Configuration Pin CFG3) or set using I2C.
