10.2.6 High Frequency Pole Design (C2):
Using Equation [3], C2 should be selected so that F_P2 is at
least one decade above F_CMAX and prior to the gain
bandwidth product of the operational amplifier (10 MHz for
this example). For applications with a higher desired
crossover frequency the use of a high gain bandwidth
product amplifier may be necessary to ensure that the real
pole can be set at least one decade above the maximum
crossover frequency.
10.2.7 Verifying
Stability:
The preferred method for verifying stability is to use a
network analyzer, measuring the closed loop response
across various lines and load conditions.
In the absence of a network analyzer, a load step transient
response can be used in order to estimate stability.
Figure 28 illustrates an example of a load step response.
Equation [4] can be used to predict the phase margin
based on the ratio of the “kick” to “droop” (as defined in
Fig. 28).
