PRODUCTION DATA
The typical bi-directional application with HV voltage regulation and LV voltage regulation is shown in Figure 7-6. Connect the error voltage of the outer voltage loop error amplifiers (ERRHV and ERRLV) to ISETx as the reference for the inner current loop.
It is advised that the outer voltage loop crossover frequency fCV should be one decade below that of the inner current loop crossover frequency fCI. And boost outer voltage loop crossover frequency should also be below 1/5 of the Right-Half-Plane Zero (RHPZ).
Type-II compensator as shown in Figure 7-6 is recommended to stabilize the voltage loop for both buck and boost mode operations.
Buck mode compensation will be analyzed as an example. The transfer function of the compensator of buck mode can be found as:
where
The total open-loop gain of the outer voltage loop of buck mode Tv_BK(s) is the product of Gvs_BK(s) and Gcv(s):
Or:
To tailor the total outer voltage loop gain to crossover at fCV, select the components of the compensation network according to the following guidelines, then fine tune the network for optimal loop performance.
Therefore, the compensation components can be derived from the above equations as:
The compensator of boost voltage loop can be designed similarly. Please note that boost voltage loop crossover frequency should also be below 1/5 of the Right-Half-Plane Zero (RHPZ).
