To prevent the sub-harmonic oscillations, a compensation
ramp is added to the control signal, as shown in
With the compensation ramp, ΔV
criteria are expressed by,
The compensation ramp has been added internally in the
LM3481. The slope of this compensation ramp has been se-
lected to satisfy most applications, and it's value depends on
the switching frequency. This slope can be calculated using
the formula:
