Step 5
Calculate the gain elements in the system to determine the gain required by the error amplifier to make the over
all gain 0 dB at 35 kHz.
The total gain around the voltage feedback loop is:
where
K
FB
is the output voltage setting divider
K
EA
is the error amplifier feedback
K
PWM
is the modulator gain
X
LC
is the filter transfer function
With reference to the graphic below, the output filter's transfer characteristic XLC (S) can be estimated by the
following:
Figure 39. Output Filter Analysis
where
Z
OUT
is the parallel combination of output
capacitor(s) and the load
R
SW
is the R
DS(on)
of the switching FET plus the
current-sense resistor
R
SR
is the resistance of the synchronous rectifier
D is the duty cycle estimated as 3.3 / 12 = 0.27
To evaluate X
LC
(S) at 35 kHz use the following:
Z
OUT
(s) at 35 kHz, which is dominated by the output capacitor's ESR; estimated to be 400 m
Z
L
(s) at 35 kHz is 7.25
R
SW
= 0.95 m, including the R
LIM
resistance
R
SR
= 100 m
Using these numbers, X
LC
(S) = 0.04 or –27.9 db.
The feedback network has a gain to the error amplifier given by:
where
for 3.3 V
OUT
, R6 = 26.7 k
Using the values in this application, K
fb
= 11.4 dB.
The modulator has a gain of 10 that is flat to well beyond 35 kHz, so K
PWM
= 20 dB.
To achieve 0 db overall gain, the amplifier and feedback gain must be set to 7.9 db (20 db – 27.9db)
The amplifier gain, including the feedback gain, K
fb
, can be approximated by this expression:
