SGM6230
2A, 38V, 385kHz Step-Down Converter
APPLICATION INFORMATION
G_EA is the error amplifier transconductance, 800µA/V.
The system has one zero of importance, due to the
compensation capacitor (C3) and the compensation
resistor (R3). This zero is located at:
f _Z1

1
2π  C3  R3
The system may have another zero of importance, if the
output capacitor has a large capacitance and/or a high
ESR value. The zero, due to the ESR and capacitance of
the output capacitor, is located at:
f_ESR

1
2π  C_OUT
 R_ESR
In this case, a third pole set by the compensation
capacitor (C6) and the compensation resistor (R3) is
used to compensate the effect of the ESR zero on the
loop gain. This pole is located at:
f_P3

1
2π  C6  R3
The goal of compensation design is to shape the
converter transfer function to get a desired loop gain. The
system crossover frequency where the feedback loop
has the unity gain is important.
Table 2 lists the typical values of compensation
components for some standard output voltages with
various output capacitors and inductors. The values of
the compensation components have been optimized for
fast transient responses and good stability at given
conditions.

Lower crossover frequencies result in slower line and
load transient responses, while higher crossover
frequencies could cause system unstable. A good rule of
thumb is to set the crossover frequency to approximately
one-thirtieth of the switching frequency. Switching
frequency for the SGM6230 is 385kHz, so the desired
crossover frequency is around 13kHz.
