3.4.Loop Compensation
A current mode DCDC converter has each one pole (phase lag) fp due to CR filter composed of the output capacitor and
the output resistance (= LED current) and zero (phase lead) fZ by the output capacitor and the ESR of the capacitor.
Moreover, a step-up DCDC converter has RHP zero (right-half plane zero point) fZRHP which is unique with the boost
converter. This zero may cause the unstable feedback. To avoid this by RHP zero, the loop compensation that the
cross-over frequency fc, set as follows, is suggested.
fc = fZRHP /5 (fZRHP: RHP zero frequency)
Considering the response speed, the calculated constant below is not always optimized completely. It needs to be
adequately verified with an actual device.

Above equation is described for lighting LED without the oscillation. The value may cause much error if the quick
response for the abrupt change of dimming signal is required.
To improve the transient response, RFB1 needs to be increased, and CFB1 needs to be decreased. It needs to be
adequately verified with an actual device in consideration of variation from parts to parts since phase margin is
decreased.
