Abstract
A slope compensation circuit that provides slope compensation signals for switching voltage regulators is provided. The slope compensation circuit includes a feedback circuit, a control circuit, and a slope signal generator circuit. The feedback circuit generates a feedback signal that is indicative of both input and output voltages. The control circuit acts as a voltage controlled resistor that varies its resistance based on the feedback signal in order to control the slope signal generator circuit so that an optimum amount of slope compensation is provided.
