Best Performance Method:
This minimizes the current limit deviation due to changes in line voltage, while maintaining near optimal slope
compensation.
Calculate optimal slope current, I
OS
= (V
OUT
/ 3) x 10 µA/V. For example, at V
OUT
= 7.5V, I
OS
= 25 µA.

Calculate V
RAMP
at the nominal input voltage.
(41)
For V
OUT
> 7.5V, install a resistor from the RAMP pin to VCC.

to VCC for V
OUT
> 7.5V
For V
OUT
< 7.5V, a negative VCC is required. This can be made with a simple charge pump from the LO gate
output. Install a resistor from the RAMP pin to the negative VCC.

If a large variation is expected in VCC, say for V
IN
< 11V, a Zener regulator may be added to supply a constant
voltage for R
RAMP
.
