The guidelines for positioning the poles and the zeroes and for calculating the component
values can be summarized as follow:
1. Choose a value for R1, usually between 1k and 5k, in order to have values of C4 and
C5 not comparable with parasitic capacitance of the board.
2. Choose a gain (R4/R1) in order to have the required bandwidth (BW), that means:
Equation 22
R4
=
⎛
⎝
f--Ef--L--S-C--R--⎠⎞
2
⋅
--B----W-----
fESR
⋅
-V-----S--
VIN
⋅
R1
Where fESR is the ESR zero:
Equation 23
fESR
=
---------------------1----------------------
2π ⋅ ESR ⋅ COUT
and Vs is the saw-tooth amplitude. The voltage feed forward keeps the ratio Vs/Vin constant.
3. Calculate C4 by placing the zero one decade below the output filter double pole:
Equation 24
C4
=
-------------1---0--------------
2π ⋅ R4 ⋅ fLC
4. Then calculate C3 in order to place the second pole at four times the system bandwidth
(BW):
Equation 25
C5
=
----------------------------C-----4----------------------------
2π ⋅ R4 ⋅ C4 ⋅ 4 ⋅ BW – 1
For example with VOUT=3.3V, VIN=12V, IO=1.5A, L=22µH, COUT=330µF, ESR=50mΩ, the
type II compensation network is:
R1 = 1.1kΩ, R2 = 249Ω, R4 = 10kΩ, C4 = 6.8nF, C5 = 68pF
In Figure 15 is shown the module and phase of the open loop gain. The bandwidth is about
30kHz and the phase margin is 45°.
