CO
(s) control to output transfer function
The accurate control to output transfer function for a buck peak current mode converter can
be written as:
Equation 1
where R
LOAD
represents the load resistance (see
Chapter 5.4
), R
CS
the equivalent sensing
resistor of the current sense circuitry, ω
p
the single pole introduced by the LC filter and ω
z
the
zero given by the ESR of the output capacitor.
F
H
(s) accounts the sampling effect performed by the PWM comparator on the output of the
error amplifier that introduces a double pole at one half of the switching frequency.
