There are several industry techniques used to compensate DC-DC regulators. For this design, type 2B compensation is used as shown in the Small Signal Model for Frequency Compensation section.
A good starting rule of thumb is to set the crossover frequency to one-tenth of the switching frequency. This will generally provide good transient response and ensure that the modulator poles do not degrade phase margin.
The compensation components can be calculated using Equation 19 and Equation 21. The values calculated for R3 and C1 are 8.66 kΩ and 12 nF, respectively.
An additional high frequency pole can be used if necessary by adding a capacitor in parallel with the series combination of R3 and C1. The pole frequency is given by Equation 33.
