Without Slope Compensation, Fixed-ON-Time (FOT) ZCD Control
There are current mode control loops that do not suffer from parasitic sub-oscillations, such as Fixed-
On-Time (FOT) ZCD (Zero-Crossing-Detection) Mode Control, where the current reflections are
forced in to stability by the Fixed On-Time term.

Without Slope Compensation, Fixed-OFF-Time (FOFFT) PCC
In Fixed Off-Time (FOFFT) switch mode, with PCC in the feed-back loop, the converter is able to work
even in deep CCM, without sub-harmonic oscillations. No current slope compensation add-on
techniques are required in this control loop because of the stabilization effect by the FOFFT.
