tahnks mtwieg,
I presume that the capacitor is also not needed in current-mode-with-added-slope-compensation?
...because thats actually a combination of both curent and voltage mode, so you would think that maybe the capacitor was needed there?
...i appreciate the most critical spec is its current handling, but its also important to make this capacitor as small and cheap as possible, so we really need to get it as small as possible, with the lowest possible voltage rating.....the problem is , what is that voltage rating, and why?....no book on the planet seems to explain this.
