From this formula, we can see that
• 1/F's zero is located at a lower frequency compared with 1/F's pole.
• 1/F's value at low frequency is 1 + R
F
/R
IN
.
• This method creates one additional pole and one additional zero.
• This pole-zero pair will serve two purposes:
– To raise the 1/F value at higher frequencies prior to its intercept with A, the open loop gain curve, in order
to meet the G
min
= 10 requirement. For the LMP7717 some overcompensation will be necessary for good
stability.
– To achieve the previous purpose above with no additional loop phase delay.
Please note the constraint 1/F ≥ G
min
needs to be satisfied only in the vicinity where the open loop gain A and
1/F intersect; 1/F can be shaped elsewhere as needed. The 1/F pole must occur before the intersection with the
open loop gain A.
In order to have adequate phase margin, it is desirable to follow these two rules:
Rule 11/F and the open loop gain A should intersect at the frequency where there is a minimum of 45° of phase
margin. When over-compensation is required the intersection point of A and 1/F is set at a frequency
where the phase margin is above 45°, therefore increasing the stability of the circuit.
Rule 21/F’s pole should be set at least one decade below the intersection with the open loop gain A in order to
take advantage of the full 90° of phase lead brought by 1/F’s pole which is F’s zero. This ensures that the
effect of the zero is fully neutralized when the 1/F and A plots intersect each other.
Calculating Lead-Lag Compensation for LMP7717
Figure 50 is the same plot as Figure 46, but the A
VOL
and phase curves have been redrawn as smooth lines to
more readily show the concepts covered, and to clearly show the key parameters used in the calculations for
lead-lag compensation.

To obtain stable operation with gains under 10 V/V the open loop gain margin must be reduced at high
frequencies to where there is a 45° phase margin when the gain margin of the circuit with the external
compensation is 0 dB. The pole and zero in F, the feedback factor, control the gain margin at the higher
frequencies. The distance between F and A
VOL
is the gain margin; therefore, the unity gain point (0 dB) is where
F crosses the A
VOL
curve.
For the example being used R
IN
= R
F
for a gain of −1. Therefore F = 6 dB at low frequencies. At the higher
frequencies the minimum value for F is 18 dB for 45° phase margin. From Equation 5 we have the following
relationship:
