LM5157EVM-FLY: the primary side inductor selection

Part Number: LM5157EVM-FLY

Hi, expert!

In the application notes (3.2.2 Primary Winding Inductance Selection), "The falling slope of the transformer current should be small enough to prevent sub-harmonic oscillation in applications with a duty cycle greater than 50%."

Why smaller is better? Since we also need to compensate for the slope, don't we want the slope to be as big as possible?

Best regards
