PRODUCTION DATA
Type IIB compensation was picked for the topology, adding a pole and a zero to the frequency response. The location of where the pole and zero should be placed will depend on the desired crossover frequency and the ESR zero of the output capacitors. The zero in compensation should be placed at least a decade before the crossover frequency for the maximum phase boost. Note that compensation values were picked with a crossover frequency of 5 kHz in mind for this design. The pole from the compensation should be placed at the zero created by the ESR of the output capacitor.
The zero from compensation was placed well before the 500-Hz mark which is appropriate. The pole from compensation was optimized while the circuit was tested and thus it was found that placing the pole a little bit earlier smoothed out the frequency response.
