APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

This feature is implemented by referencing this pin via a

resistor divider from the 5VREF pin to ground. The addi-

tional slope compensation will be affected at the point in

the oscillator waveform (at pin CT) corresponding to the

voltage set by the resistor divider. Additional slope com-

pensation can be calculated using the relation:

SENSE

where RTH is the Thevenin resistance of the resistor

divider. Actual compensation will actually be somewhat

greater due to internal curvature correction circuitry that

imposes an exponential increase in the slope compensa-

tion waveform, further increasing the effective compensa-

tion slope up to 20% for a given setting.

Design example:

VIN = 20V

VOUT = 80V (DC = 0.75)

RSENSE = 0.01Ω

Since L = 20

A down side of slope compensation is that, since the IC

servo loop senses an increase in perceived inductor cur-

rent, the internal current limit functions are affected such

that the maximum current capability of a regulator is

reduced by the same amount as the effective current

referred slope compensation. The LT1680, however, uses

a current limit scheme that is independent of the slope

compensation effects (Average Current Limiting). This

provides operation at any duty cycle with no reduction in

current sourcing capability, provided ripple current peak

amplitude is less than 15% of the current limit value. For

example, if the converter is set up to average current limit

at 10A, as long as the peak inductor current is less than

11.5A, duty cycles up to 90% can be achieved without

compromising the average current limit value.

If an inductor smaller than the minimum required for

internal slope compensation (calculated above as LMIN) is

desired, additional slope compensation is necessary. The

LT1680 provides this capability through the SL/ADJ pin.
