Abstract
A ramp signal generator generates a slope compensated ramp signal with optimal slope compensation for a current mode control modulator. In some embodiments, the ramp signal generator generates a ramp signal for the current control loop having a first ramp portion with slope compensation and a second ramp portion that matches the expected current mode signal. In some embodiments, the ramp signal generator is implemented using a switched capacitor circuit with charge scaling to generate the ramp signal with optimal slope compensation built into the ramp signal.
