RC and CC introduce a pole and a zero in the open loop gain. CP does not significantly affect
system stability but it is useful to reduce the noise at the output of the error amplifier.
The transfer function of the error amplifier and its compensation network is:
Equation 8
A0s = s----2-------R----0----------C----0-----+----C-----p----------R----c-------C--A---c-V--+-0----s------1----R-+----0-s------C-R---c--c--+-----CR----c-0---------C-----0----+-----C----p-------+-----R----c-------C-----c------+-----1--
where Avo = Gm · Ro.
The poles of this transfer function are (if Cc >> C0 + CP):
Equation 9
fP LF = -2---------------1R-----0-------C----c-
Equation 10
fP HF = -2---------------R-----c----1-----C-----0----+-----C----p---
whereas the zero is defined as:
Equation 11
FZ = -2---------------1R-----c-------C----c-
