5 Selecting C
FF
A capacitor placed across the gain resistor R1 will provide additional phase margin to improve load
transient response of the device. This capacitor, C
FF
, in parallel with R1, will form a zero in the loop
response given by the formula:
F
Z
= (1 / (2 × π × C
FF
× R1) ) (4)
The value for C
FF
should be selected to set a zero frequency (F
Z
) between 25 kHz and 50 kHz using the
formula:
C
FF
= 1 / (2 × π × F
Z
× R1) (5)
The closest standard 10% value is usually adequate for C
FF
.
The LP38512MR-ADJ Evaluation board is assembled with a 3300 pF capacitor for C
FF
. This sets F
Z
to
approximately 34 kHz.
F
Z
= (1 / (2 × π × 3300 pF × 1.40kΩ ) ) = 34.4 kHz (6)
