F
CO

The phase loss is given by Equation 20:
(20)
Where:

Now that the phase loss is known the required amount of phase boost to meet the phase margin requirement
can be determined. The required phase boost is given by Equation 21:
(21)
Where PM = the desired phase margin and PL = the phase loss calculated in Equation 20.
A zero / pole pair of the compensation network will be placed symmetrically around the intended closed loop
frequency to provide maximum phase boost at the crossover point. The amount of separation can be determined
by Equation 22 and the resultant zero and pole frequencies are given by Equation 23 and Equation 24
(22)
(23)
(24)
The low-frequency pole is set so that the gain at the crossover frequency is equal to the inverse of the gain of the
modulator and output filter. Due to the relationships of the pole and zero frequencies, the value of R
Z
can be
derived directly by Equation 25 :
