7.3.2.4 Error Amplifier Compensation

The total load-share loop unity-gain crossover frequency, fCO, must be set at least one decade below the lowest measured crossover frequency of the paralleled modules previously measured, fCO(module) (see Figure 7-5). Compensation of the transconductance error amplifier is accomplished by connecting a compensation resistor, REAO, in series with a capacitor, CEAO, between EAO and GND. Use Equation 8 and Equation 13 to calculate the values of these components. CEAO is calculated first.

Equation 8. C E A O ≥ g M 2 π × f C O × 2 × A C S A × A V × A A D J × A P W R f C O

where

  • gM is the transconductance of the Error Amplifier, typically 14mS.
  • fCO is the targeted crossover frequency of the load-share loop, minimally fCO(module)/10, preferably even lower
  • ACSA is the DC gain of the Current-Sense Amplifier. (R15, R16 refer to Figure 7-1.)
  • AV is the maximum voltage gain.
  • AADJ is the gain associated with the Adjust amplifier.
  • |APWR(fCO)| is the measured gain of the power module at the targeted load-share crossover frequency, fCO, converted from dB to V/V.
Equation 9. A C S A = R 16 R 15
Equation 10. A V = R S H U N T R L O A D = I O U T ( m a x ) × R S H U N T V O U T
Equation 11. A A D J = R A D J ∥ R S E N S E 500   Ω = R A D J × R S E N S E R A D J + R S E N S E × 500   Ω
Equation 12. A P W R f C O = 10 G M O D U L E ( f C O ) 20

where

  • GMODULE(fCO) is the measured value of the gain (in dB) from Figure 7-5, at the targeted load-share crossover frequency.

After the value of the CEAO capacitor is determined, the REAO value is calculated to achieve the desired current-sharing loop response using Equation 13.

Equation 13. R E A O = 1 2 π × f C O × C E A O
