The Current Mode zero is a right half plane zero which can
be an issue in feedback control design, but is manageable
with proper external component selection.
Using the circuit of Figure 2 as an example, Table 3 shows
the parameters used to generate the Bode plot shown in
Figure 7.

From Figure 7, the phase is –115° when the gain reaches
0dB giving a phase margin of 65°. This is more than
adequate. The crossover frequency is 50kHz.
