Figure 18. Error Amplifier Gain and Phase
The overall loop can be predicted as the sum (in dB) of the modulator gain and the error amp gain.
Figure 19. Overall Loop Gain and Phase
If a network analyzer is available, the modulator gain can be measured and the error amplifier gain can be
configured for the desired loop transfer function. If a network analyzer is not available, the error amplifier
compensation components can be designed with the guidelines given. Step load transient tests can be
performed to verify acceptable performance. The step load goal is minimum overshoot with a damped response.
C6 can be added to the compensation network to decrease noise susceptibility of the error amplifier. The value
of C6 must be sufficiently small since the addition of this capacitor adds a pole in the error amplifier transfer
function. This pole must be well beyond the loop crossover frequency. A good approximation of the location of
the pole added by C6 is: f
p2
= fz x C5 / C6.
