3.9.4 RLED Selection

The resistor in series with the optocoupler diode, RLED, directly affects the mid-band gain of control loop. Equation 28 is used to calculated the maximum value of RLED ensuring that VCOMP voltage on the primary side can be pulled to the saturation voltage of the optocoupler BJT, VCE(sat).
