7.1.5 Frequency Compensation

To compensate and prevent the closed loop arrangement from oscillations and overshoots at the output of the RF detector/error amplifier of the LMV242x, the system can be adjusted by means of external RC components connected between COMP1 and COMP2. Exact values heavily depend on PA characteristics. A good starting point is R = 0Ω and C = 68pF. The vast combination of PAs and couplers available preclude a generalized formula for choosing these components. Additional frequency compensation of the closed loop system can be achieved by adding a resistor (and if needed an inductor) between the LMV242x output and the VAPC input of the PA. Contact TI for additional support.
