7.2.3.5.3 Feed-Forward Capacitor

In some cases, a feedforward capacitor can be used across RFBT to improve the load transient response or improve the loop phase margin. This statement is especially true when values of RFBT > 100kΩ are used. Large values of RFBT in combination with the parasitic capacitance at the FB pin can create a small signal pole that interferes with the loop stability. A CFF helps mitigate this effect. Use lower values to determine if any advantage is gained by the use of a CFF capacitor.

The Optimizing Transient Response of Internally Compensated DC-DC Converters with Feedforward Capacitor application report is helpful when experimenting with a feedforward capacitor.
