External Output Enable Circuit

On/off control of the regulator can be implemented

through the addition of two additional discrete components

(see Figure 14). This circuit operates by pulling the Soft

circuit condition.

External Power Good Circuit

An optional Power Good signal can be generated through

the use of four additional external components (see Figure

17). The threshold voltage of the Power Good signal can be

adjusted per the following equation:

This circuit provides an open collector output that drives

the Power Good output to ground for regulator voltages less

Slope Compensation

the ESR of the output capacitors, that is proportional to the

ripple current through the inductor. To maintain regulation,

PWM comparator, and terminates the switch on−time.

The stringent load transient requirements of modern

microprocessors require the output capacitors to have very

low ESR. The resulting shallow slope presented to the PWM

comparator, due to the very low ESR, can lead to pulse width

jitter and variation caused by both random or synchronous

noise.

Adding slope compensation to the control loop, avoids

erratic operation of the PWM circuit, particularly at lower

duty cycles and higher frequencies, where there is not

enough ramp signal, and provides a more stable switchpoint.

The scheme that prevents that switching noise

prematurely triggers the PWM circuit consists of adding a

positive voltage slope to the output of the Error Amplifier

(COMP pin) during an off−time cycle.
