PRODUCTION DATA
A feedforward capacitor, CFF on the order of tens of picofarads, is used to improve phase margin and transient response of circuits which have output capacitors with low ESR. Because this CFF capacitor can conduct noise from the output of the circuit directly to the FB node of the IC, a 4.99kΩ resistor, RFF, must be placed in series with CFF. If the ESR zero of the output capacitor is below 200kHz, no CFF must be used.
If output voltage is less than 2.5V, CFF has little effect, so CFF can be omitted. If output voltage is greater than 14V, CFF must be used cautiously because CFF can easily introduce too much gain at higher frequencies.
If 1MΩ is selected for RFBT, then a feedforward capacitor CFF must be used.
