3.12.4 Determine Required CHF

The CHF capacitor sets the high frequency pole of the compensation network. The high frequency pole aids in attenuating high frequency noise due to the switching frequency and assuring enough gain margin achieved. It is recommended to set the pole frequency at the RHP zero (ωZ_RHP) or between the RHP zero and half the switching frequency. For this design the pole frequency was selected to be 52 kHz. The is geometric mean between the RHP zero when VSUPPLY is 2.5 V and half switching frequency. Equation 28 is used to calculate the value of CHF.

CHF is chosen to be 1 nF.
