RT9245C
Dead Zone Elimination
RT9245C samples and holds inductor current at 50%
period by time-sharing sourcing a current I
light load condition when inductor current is not balance,
voltage V
It needs a negative I
RT9245C CANNOT provide a negative I
cannot sense negative inductor current. This results in
dead zone of load line performance as shown in Figure
14. Therefore a technique as shown in Figure 15 is required
to eliminate the dead zone of load line at light load
condition.

make sure RT9245C could sense the inductor current,
right hand side of Equation (1) should always be positive:
Since R
could be simplified as :
Figure 14 shows that dead zone of load line at light load
is eliminated by applying this technique.
