9.2.2.6 Feed-Forward Capacitor

The LMR23630-Q1 is internally compensated. Depending on the VOUT and frequency fSW, if the output capacitor COUT is dominated by low ESR (ceramic types) capacitors, it could result in low phase margin. To improve the phase boost an external feed-forward capacitor CFF can be added in parallel with RFBT. CFF is chosen such that phase margin is boosted at the crossover frequency without CFF. A simple estimation for the crossover frequency (fX) without CFF is shown in Equation 18, assuming COUT has very small ESR, and COUT value is after derating.

Equation 18. LMR23630-Q1 equation_14_snvsah2.gif

Equation 19 for CFF was tested:

Equation 19. LMR23630-Q1 equation_15_snvsah2.gif

For designs with higher ESR, CFF is not needed when COUT has very high ESR and CFF calculated from Equation 19 should be reduced with medium ESR. Table 2 can be used as a quick starting point.

For the application in this design example, a 47-pF, 50-V, COG capacitor is selected.
