PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 8-2 shows a Type-ll compensator using a transconductance error amplifier (EA). The dominant pole of the EA open-loop gain is set by the EA output resistance, ROEA, and effective bandwidth-limiting capacitance, CBW, as shown by Equation 20.
The EA high-frequency pole is neglected in the above expression. Equation 21 expresses the compensator transfer function from output voltage to COMP, including the gain contribution from the feedback divider.
where
The EA compensation components create a pole close to the origin, a zero, and a high-frequency pole. Typically, RCOMP << ROEA and CCOMP >> CBW and CHF, so the approximations are valid. Figure 8-2 circles the poles in red and the zero in blue.
