8.2.3.9 Output Voltage Setting and Frequency Compensation Selection

A feedback divider between the DIFFO pin and AGND sets the output voltage. This design selects an R1 value of 10 kΩ. Using R1 and the desired output voltage, and calculate the value of the RBIAS resistor using Equation 25 to be 10 kΩ.

Equation 25. TPS40425 q_de_rbias_slusbv0.gif

The TPS40425 device uses voltage mode control with input feedforward at single phase dual-output configuration. See the presentation Under the Hood of Low-Voltage DC/DC Converters from the 2003 TI Power Supply Design Seminar for an in-depth discussion of voltage-mode feedback and control. Click SLUP206 to download a copy. Frequency compensation can be accomplished using standard techniques. TI also provides a compensation calculator tool to streamline compensation design. In the TPS40k Loop Compensation Tool, the device parameters, cross frequency and phase margin are set as below.

The device parameters entered into the loop compenation tool for this design are:

  • VVRAMP = VVIN/10
  • VREF = 0.6 V
  • GBWP = 50 MHz
  • DC Gain = 80dB
  • fCO = 50 kHz
  • Phase Margin = 55°

The tool provides the recommended compensation components, and approximate bode plots. As a starting point, the crossover frequency should be set to 1/10 fSW, and the phase margin at crossover should be greater than 45°. The resulting plots should be reviewed for a few common considerations. The error amplifier gain should not hit the error amplifier gain bandwidth product (GBWP), and the error amplifier gain at switching frequency region is recommended to be approximately 20dB in general. Use the tool to calculate the system bode plot at different loading conditions to ensure that the phase does not drop below zero prior to crossover, as this condition is known as conditional stability.

The design tool provides the compensation network values as a starting point. It is always recommended to measure the real system bode plot after the design and adjust the compensation values accordingly.

These compensation values are from the tool calculation and optimization based on the measured data.

  • R1 = 10 kΩ
  • R1 = 0.28 kΩ
  • R3 = 5 kΩ
  • RBIAS = 10 kΩ
  • C1 = 1500 pF
  • C2 = 3300 pF
  • C3 = 100 pF
