PRODUCTION DATA
The voltage at the RAMP pin provides the modulation ramp for the PWM comparator. The PWM comparator compares the modulation ramp signal at the RAMP pin to the loop error signal to control the duty cycle. The modulation ramp signal can be implemented either as a ramp proportional to the input voltage, known as feed-forward voltage mode control, or as a ramp proportional to the primary current, known as current mode control. The RAMP pin is reset by an internal MOSFET with an RDS(ON) of 5.5 Ω at the conclusion of each PWM cycle. The ability to configure the RAMP pin for either voltage mode or current mode allows the controller to be implemented for the optimum control method depending upon the design constraints. Refer to the Section 7 section for more details on configuring the RAMP pin for feed-forward voltage mode control and peak current mode control.
