Choose compensation components for a stable control loop using the procedure outlined as follows.

1. Based on a specified loop gain crossover frequency, f_C, of 50kHz, use Equation 38 to calculate R_COMP, assuming an effective output capacitance of 80μF (2 × 47µF TDK CGA6P1X7S1A476M250AC capacitors). Choose a standard value for R_COMP of 8.66kΩ.
   Equation 38. ${\mathrm{R}}_{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}\mathrm{M}\mathrm{P}}=2\times \mathrm{\pi }\times {\mathrm{f}}_{\mathrm{C}}\times \frac{{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{O}\mathrm{U}\mathrm{T}}}{{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{R}\mathrm{E}\mathrm{F}}}\times \frac{{\mathrm{C}}_{\mathrm{O}\mathrm{U}\mathrm{T}}}{{\mathrm{g}}_{\mathrm{m}\mathrm{1}}\times {\mathrm{G}}_{\mathrm{m}\mathrm{2}}}=2\times \mathrm{\pi }\times 50\mathrm{}\mathrm{k}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{z}\times \frac{5\mathrm{}\mathrm{V}}{0.8\mathrm{}\mathrm{V}}\times \frac{80\mathrm{}\mathrm{\mu }\mathrm{F}}{1\mathrm{}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{S}\times \mathrm{18.6}\mathrm{A}\mathrm{/}\mathrm{V}}=8.44\mathrm{}\mathrm{k}\mathrm{\Omega }\mathrm{ }$
2. To provide adequate phase boost at crossover while also allowing a fast settling time during a load or line transient, select C_COMP to place a zero at the higher of (1) one eighth of the crossover frequency, or (2) the load pole. Choose a standard value for C_COMP of 2.2nF.
   Equation 39. ${\mathrm{C}}_{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}\mathrm{M}\mathrm{P}}=\frac{8}{2\times \mathrm{\pi }\times {\mathrm{f}}_{\mathrm{C}}\times {\mathrm{R}}_{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}\mathrm{M}\mathrm{P}}}=\frac{8}{2\times \mathrm{\pi }\times 50\mathrm{}\mathrm{k}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{z}\times 8.66\mathrm{}\mathrm{k}\mathrm{\Omega }}=2.94\mathrm{}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{F}$

   Such a low capacitance value also helps to avoid output voltage overshoot when recovering from dropout (when the input voltage is less than the output voltage set point and V_COMP is railed high).
