However, once the controller’s duty cycle exceeds 20%, voltage to rise smoothly from 0V to its final value, while slope compensation begins and effectively reduces the maintaining control of the inductor current. After the peak sense voltage by an amount given by the curve in soft-start is timed out, it is disabled until the part is put in Figure 1. shutdown again or the input supply is cycled. The peak inductor current is determined by the peak sense
