(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 ...

For the PDF version of this article, which includes equations, click here. Peak current control has long been a popular PWM method in switching power supplies [1] and has the equally well-known ...

Chezy and Manning developed equations that are used to determine the average volumetric flowrate in open channels. This article explains a laboratory method that was developed and tested to further ...

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 ...
