Compensation Components

Choose compensation components for a stable control loop using the procedure outlined as follows.

  1. Based on a specified loop gain crossover frequency, fC, of 40kHz, use Equation 42 to calculate RCOMP, assuming an effective output capacitance of 82µF. Choose a standard value for RCOMP of 5.36kΩ.
    Equation 42. R C O M P = 2 × π × f C × V O U T V R E F × R S × G C S g m × C O U T = 2 × π × 40 k H z × 5 V 0.8 V × 5 m Ω × 10 1200 µ S × 82 µ F = 5.37 k Ω  
  2. To provide adequate phase boost at crossover while also allowing a fast settling time during a load or line transient, select CCOMP to place a zero at the higher of (1) one tenth of the crossover frequency, or (2) the load pole. Choose a standard value for CCOMP of 6.8nF.
    Equation 43. C C O M P = 10 2 × π × f C × R C O M P = 10 2 × π × 40 k H z × 5.36 k Ω = 7.42 n F

    Such a low capacitance value also helps to avoid output voltage overshoot when recovering from dropout (when the input voltage is less than the output voltage setpoint and VCOMP is railed high).

  3. Calculate CHF to create a pole at the ESR zero and to attenuate high-frequency noise at COMP. CBW is the bandwidth-limiting capacitance of the error amplifier. Select a standard value for CHF of 47pF.
    Equation 44. C H F = 1 2 × π × f E S R × R C O M P - C B W = 1 2 × π × 500 k H z × 5.36 k Ω - 38 p F = 21 p F
Note:

Set a fast loop with high RCOMP and low CCOMP values to improve the response when recovering from operation in dropout.
