VCC
Undervoltage Lockout
During Undervoltage Lockout (Figure 1), the output driv-
er is biased to a high impedance state. The output should
be shunted to ground with a resistor to prevent output
leakage current from activating the power switch.
PWM Waveform
To generate the PWM waveform, the control voltage from
the error amplifier is compared to a current sense signal
which represents the peak output inductor current (Figure
2). An increase in VCC causes the inductor current slope to
increase, thus reducing the duty cycle. This is an inherent
feed-forward characteristic of current mode control, since
the control voltage does not have to change during
changes of input supply voltage.
When the power supply sees a sudden large output cur-
rent increase, the control voltage will increase allowing the
duty cycle to momentarily increase. Since the duty cycle
tends to exceed the maximum allowed to prevent trans-
