(EQ. 11)
The compensation network consists of the error amplifier (internal to the ER2120QI) and the impedance networks, ZIN and ZFB.
The goal of the compensation network is to provide a closed loop transfer function with the highest 0dB crossing frequency (f0dB)
and adequate phase margin. Phase margin is the difference between the closed loop phase at f0dB and 180 degrees. Equation 12
relates the compensation network’s poles, zeros, and gain to the components (R1, R2, R3, C1, C2 and C3) in Figure 36. Use these
guidelines for locating the poles and zeros of the compensation network:
1. Pick Gain (R2/R1) for desired converter bandwidth.
2. Place first zero below filter’s double pole (~75% FLC).
3. Place second zero at filter’s double pole.
4. Place first pole at ESR Zero.
5. Place second pole at half the switching frequency.
6. Check gain against error amplifier’s open-loop gain.
7. Estimate phase margin; repeat if necessary.
