With the power components selected in accordance with
Chapter 5.9: Component selection
and given the BW specification, the components composing the compensation network can
be calculated as:
Equation 16
where the term m
C
is represented in
Equation 4
, R
LOAD
the equivalent loading resistor
(
Equation 12
), R
S
the sensing resistor value, G
m
the error amplifier transconductance and
R
CS
the current sense gain (
Table 5: Electrical characteristics
)
Equation 17
where K represents the leading position of the F
Z
(
Equation 11
) with respect to the system
bandwidth. In general, a value of 2 gives enough phase margin to the overall small loop
transfer function.

for output capacitor and inductor selection guidelines):
L=22 μH, C
OUT
=1.0 μF mlcc (negligible ESR)
In accordance with
Chapter 5.9.1
the sensing resistor value is:
Equation 18
Assuming a system bandwidth of:
Equation 19
the ideal values of the components making up the compensation network is:
Equation 20
Final component selection is based on commercial values and a small capacitor C
P
is
added to reduce noise at the error amplifier output. C
P
slightly decreases the BW and phase
margin.
