Here the natural ramp compensation is lower than the desired ramp compensation, so an external compensation should be
added to prevent sub−harmonics oscillation.

Thus with Rcomp = 510 W, 100% compensation ramp is applied on the CS pin.
The following example illustrates a power supply where the natural ramp offers enough ramp compensation to avoid external
ramp compensation.
2 switch−Forward Power supply specification:
• Regulated output: 12 V
• Lout = 27 mH
• Vf = 0.7 V (drop voltage on the regulated output)
• Current sense resistor: 0.75 W
• Duty cycle max: DCmax = 84%
• Vramp = 3.5 V, Internal ramp level.
• Rramp = 26.5 kW, Internal pull−up resistance
• Targeted ramp compensation level: 100%
• Switching frequency: 125 kHz
• Transformer specification:
• Vbulk = 350 V, minimum input voltage at which the
power supply works.
− Lmag = 7 mH
− Ns/Np = 0.085

So in that case the natural ramp compensation due to the magnetizing inductance of the transformer will be enough to prevent
any sub−harmonics oscillation in case of duty cycle above 50%.
