Inductor Current Measurement with Add-On Slope Compensation Ramp (plus Blanking)
A linear ramp (V
SC
) can be created by a capacitor that is charged with a time-constant exceeding the
switch period (T).
The ramp (V
SC
) and the input signal (I
L
*[R
i
]) are added onto the input ACMP/P, for the slope
compensation.
A fixed peak detection reference is applied t
o ACMP/N from a “CCU 4 as DAC” via RC-filter.
The SC-Ramp is PWM aligned.
Blanking is controlled via ACMP/P.
ACMP PCC Slope Compensation Circuit; Clarification Example
By using RC-networks, there is a simple, straight-forward way to accomplish external linear control of
a slope compensation voltage ramp, as well as a fixed reference voltage from a 1-bit DAC using a
low-pass filter. All signals are related to ground
– and controlled by CCU outputs in open drain mode.

Current Measurement Signal
The output voltage of the Current Measurement is assumed to be representing the inductor current.
