PRODUCTION DATA
#SNVSA023503 shows a type-ll compensator using a transconductance error amplifier (EA). The dominant pole of the EA open-loop gain is set by the EA output resistance, RO-EA, and effective bandwidth-limiting capacitance, CBW, as shown by #SNVSB292170.
The EA high-frequency pole is neglected in the above expression. #SNVSA029758 calculates the compensator transfer function from output voltage to COMP node, including the gain contribution from the (internal or external) feedback resistor network.
where
The EA compensation components create a pole close to the origin, a zero, and a high-frequency pole. Typically, RCOMP << RO-EA and CCOMP >> CBW and CHF, so the approximations are valid.
