shows the effect of changing input voltage on the duty cycle, and how that change takes place. The
pulse width modulator (PWM) ramp input is generated using a current that is proportional to the current into the
KFF pin. The TPS40074 holds this pin at a constant 400 mV, so connecting a resistor from KFF to the input
power supply causes a current to flow into the KFF pin that is proportional to the input voltage. The slope of the
ramp signal to the PWM is therefore proportional to the input voltage. This allows the duty cycle to change with
variations in Vin without requiring much response from the error amplifier, resulting in very good line transient
response. Another benefit is essentially constant PWM gain over the entire input voltage operating range. This
makes the output control loop easier to design for a wide input range converter.
