ST1S41 Functional description
The transfer function from FB to Vc (output of E/A) introduces the singularities (poles and
zeroes) to stabilize the loop. Figure 5 shows the small signal model of the error amplifier
with the internal compensation network.

R
C
and C
C
introduce a pole and a zero in the open loop gain. C
P
does not significantly affect
system stability and can be neglected.
So G

The poles of this transfer function are (if C

whereas the zero is defined as:

The embedded compensation network is R

=70 kΩ, C
C
=195 pF while C
P
and C
O
can be
considered as negligible. The error amplifier output resistance is 240 MΩ
so the relevant
singularities are:
