Current-control switching-mode power supplies (SMPS) are gaining in popularity because they allow pulse-by-pulse current control and monitoring, making them more reliable and robust than their voltage ...

Pulse-width-modulation (PWM) duty cycles above 50% require a compensating ramp — called slope-compensation — to avoid instability. With traditional slope-compensation solutions, it is difficult for ...

In switch-mode power converters, peak current control is very popular because of its inherent current limitation and ease of control. However, if the duty cycle is higher than 50%, there is an ...

(Part 1 of this article provides an overview of basic current-mode control (CMC) circuits and demonstrates the need for slope compensation). Let's assume a typical application where V out and L are ...
