8.2.2.4 Loop Stability, Feedforward Capacitor Selection

When the switching waveform shows large duty cycle jitter or the output voltage or inductor current shows oscillations, the regulation loop can be unstable.

The load transient response is another approach to check the loop stability. During the load transient recovery time, VOUT can be monitored for settling time, overshoot or ringing that helps judge the stability of the converters. Without any ringing, the loop has usually more than 45° of phase margin.

A feedforward capacitor (C3 in the Figure 8-2) in parallel with R1 induces a pair of zero and pole in the loop transfer function. By setting the proper zero frequency, the feedforward capacitor can increase the phase margin to improve the loop stability. For large output capacitance more than 40 μF application, TI recommends a feedforward capacitor to set the zero frequency (fFFZ) to 1 kHz. As for the input voltage lower than 1-V application, TI recommends to use the effective output capacitance is about 100 µF and set the zero frequency (fFFZ) to 1 kHz. The value of the feedforward capacitor can be calculated by Equation 10.

where

  • R1 is the resistor between the VOUT pin and FB pin
  • fFFZ is the zero frequency created by the feedforward capacitor
