The CC RC zero is then used to cancel the fP pole, so:
RC = RLOAD x COUT x VOUT / [(2VOUT - VIN) x CC]
AUX Step-Up, Continuous Inductor Current
Continuous inductor current can sometimes improve
boost efficiency by lowering the ratio between peak
inductor current and output current. It does this at the
expense of a larger inductance value that requires larger
size for a given current rating. With continuous inductor-
current boost operation, there is a right-half-plane zero,
ZRHP, at the following:
ZRHP = (1 - D)2 x RLOAD / (2π x L)
where (1 - D) = VIN / VOUT (in a boost converter).
There is a complex pole pair at the following:
f0 = VOUT / [2π x VIN (L x COUT)1/2]
If the zero due to the output capacitance and ESR is
less than 1/10 the right-half-plane zero:
ZCOUT = 1 / (2π x COUT x RESR) < ZRHP / 10
Then choose CC so the crossover frequency fC occurs
at ZCOUT. The ESR zero provides a phase boost at
crossover:
CC = (VIN / VRAMP) (VFB / VOUT) [gM / (2π x ZCOUT)]
Choose RC to place the integrator zero, 1 / (2π x RC x
CC), at f0 to cancel one of the pole pairs:
RC = VIN(L x COUT)1/2 / (VOUT x CC)
If ZCOUT is not less than ZRHP / 10 (as is typical with
ceramic output capacitors) and continuous conduction
is required, then cross the loop over before ZRHP and f0:
fC < f0 / 10, and fC < ZRHP / 10
In that case:
CC = (VIN / VRAMP) (VFB / VOUT) (gM / (2π x fC))
Place:
1 / (2π x RC x CC) = 1 / (2π x RLOAD x COUT), so that
RC = RLOAD x COUT / CC
Or, reduce the inductor value for discontinuous operation.
MAX1567 AUX2 Inverter Compensation,
Discontinuous Inductor Current
If the load current is very low (≤40mA), discontinuous
current is preferred for simple loop compensation and
freedom from duty-cycle restrictions on the inverter
input-output ratio. To ensure discontinuous operation,
the inductor must have a sufficiently low inductance to
fully discharge on each cycle. This occurs when:
L < [VIN / (|VOUT| + VIN)]2 RLOAD / (2fOSC)
A discontinuous current inverter has a single pole at the
following:
fP = 2 / (2π x RLOAD x COUT)
Choose the integrator cap so the unity-gain crossover,
fC, occurs at fOSC / 10 or lower. Note that for many AUX
circuits that do not require fast transient response, it is
often acceptable to overcompensate by setting fC at
fOSC / 20 or lower.
CC is then determined by the following:
CC = [VIN / (K1/2 x VRAMP)] [VREF / (VOUT + VREF)] [gM /
(2π x fC)]
where K = 2L x fOSC / RLOAD, and VRAMP is the internal
slope-compensation voltage ramp of 1.25V.
The CC RC zero is then used to cancel the fP pole, so:
RC = (RLOAD x COUT) / (2CC)
MAX1567 AUX2 Inverter Compensation,
Continuous Inductor Current
Continuous inductor current may be more suitable for
larger load currents (50mA or more). It improves effi-
ciency by lowering the ratio between peak inductor cur-
rent and output current. It does this at the expense of a
larger inductance value that requires larger size for a
given current rating. With continuous inductor-current
inverter operation, there is a right-half-plane zero,
ZRHP, at:
ZRHP = [(1 - D)2 / D] x RLOAD / (2π x L)
where D = |VOUT| / (|VOUT| + VIN) (in an inverter).
There is a complex pole pair at:
f0 = (1 - D) / (2π(L x C)1/2)
If the zero due to the output-capacitor capacitance and
ESR is less than 1/10 the right-half-plane zero:
ZCOUT = 1 / (2π x COUT x RESR) < ZRHP / 10
Then choose CC such that the crossover frequency fC
occurs at ZCOUT. The ESR zero provides a phase boost
at crossover:
CC = (VIN / VRAMP) [VREF / (VREF + |VOUT|)] [gM /
(2π x ZCOUT)]
Choose RC to place the integrator zero, 1 / (2π x RC x
CC), at f0 to cancel one of the pole pairs:
RC = (L x COUT)1/2 / [(1 - D) x CC]
If ZCOUT is not less than ZRHP / 10 (as is typical with
ceramic output capacitors) and continuous conduction
is required, then cross the loop over before ZRHP and f0:
fC < f0 /10, and fC < ZRHP / 10
