It is accom- 2000 plished by internally adding a compensating ramp to the 1800 inductor current signal at duty cycles in excess of 40%. As a result, the maximum inductor peak current is reduced for 1600 duty cycles > 40%. This is shown in the decrease of the 1400 inductor peak current as a function of duty cycle graph in 1200 Figure 3. MAXIMUM INDUCTOR PEAK CURRENT (mA) 1000 0 20 40 60 80 100 DUTY CYCLE (%) 1879 F03
