Where:
• K
CO
is the control to output gain of the converter, in V/V
• g
M
is the transconductance of the power stage and modulator, in S
• R
OUT
is the output load equivalent resistance, in Ω
• Z
OUT
is the output impedance, including the output capacitor, in Ω
• R
ISNS
is the value of the current sense resistor, in Ω
• L is the value of the inductor, in H
• C
OUT
is the value of the output capacitance, in F
• R
ESR
is the equivalent series resistance of C
OUT
, in Ω
• f
SW
is the switching frequency, in Hz
• f
L
is the desired crossover frequency for the control loop, in Hz
These equations assume that the operation is discontinuous and that the load is purely resistive. The gain in
continuous conduction can be found by evaluating Equation 23 at the resistance that gives the critical conduction
current for the converter. Loads that are more like current sources give slightly higher gains than predicted here.
To find the gain of the compensation network required for a control loop of bandwidth f
L
, take the reciprocal of
Equation 22.

The GBWP of the error amplifier is only guaranteed to be at least 1.5 MHz. If K
COMP
multiplied by f
L
is greater
than 750 kHz, reduce the desired loop crossover frequency until this condition is satisfied. This ensures that the
high-frequency pole from the error amplifier response with the compensation network in place does not cause
excessive phase lag at f
L
and decreased phase margin in the loop.
The R-C network connected from COMP to FB places a zero in the compensation response. That zero should be
approximately 1/10th of the desired crossover frequency, f
L
. With that being the case, R
FB
and C
FB
can be found
from Equation 26 and Equation 27

Where:
• R1 is the high side feedback resistor in Figure 27, in Ω
• f
L
is the desired loop crossover frequency, in Hz
Thought not strictly necessary, it is recommended that a capacitor be added between COMP and FB to provide
high-frequency noise attenuation in the control loop circuit. This capacitor introduces another pole in the
compensation response. The allowable location of that pole frequency determines the capacitor value. As a
starting point, the pole frequency should be 10 × f
L
. The value of C
HF
can be found from Equation 28.
