The RCOMP resistor and CCOMP capacitor set a low frequency zero of the compensation network, providing a phase boost. Placement of this zero frequency largely impacts the transient response of the control loop. A good strategy to help ensure adequate phase margin is to place the zero at geometric mean of the crossover frequency (fCROSS) and the low frequency pole of the modulator. Equation 24 places the low frequency zero of error amplifier a the geometric mean of fCROSS and low frequency pole of the plant (ωP_LF). Equation 24 is used to calculate the value of CCOMP.
CCOMP is selected to be 22 nF.
