PWM Controller
The heart of the current-mode PWM controller is a
multi-input, open-loop comparator that sums four sig-
nals: the output voltage error signal with respect to the
reference voltage, the current-sense signal, the inte-
grated voltage-feedback signal, and the slope-
compensation ramp (Figure 3).
The PWM controller is a direct-summing type, lacking a
traditional error amplifier and the phase shift associat-
ed with it. This direct-summing configuration approach-
es ideal cycle-by-cycle control over the output voltage
(Figure 4).
When SKIP = low, Idle Mode circuitry automatically
optimizes efficiency throughout the load-current range.
