8.2.2.6.1 Small Signal Analysis

The TPS61382A-Q1 uses the fixed frequency peak current mode control with an internal adaptive slope compensation to avoid subharmonic oscillation. With the inductor current information sensed, the small-signal model of the power stage reduces from a two-pole system, created by L and C_OUT, to a single-pole system, created by R_OUT and C_OUT. The single-pole system is easily used with the loop compensation. The image below shows the equivalent small signal elements of a boost converter.

The small signal of power stage can be given by:

Equation 12.

K_{PS} (s) = \frac{R_{out} (1 - D)}{2 R_{sense}} \times \frac{(1 + \frac{s}{2 π \times f_{zESR}}) (1 - \frac{s}{2 π \times f_{zRHP}})}{(1 + \frac{s}{2 π \times f_{pPS}})}

D is the duty cycle
R_out is the output load resistance
R_sense is the equivalent internal current sense resistor, which is typically 6mΩ

The single pole of the power stage can be given by:

Equation 13.

where

C_out is the output capacitance. For a boost converter having multiple identical output capacitors in parallel, simply combine the capacitors with the equivalent capacitance

The zero created by the ESR of the output capacitor can be given by:

Equation 14.

f_{zESR} = \frac{1}{2 π \times C_{out} \times R_{ESR}}

where

R_ESR is the equivalent resistance in series of the output capacitor

The right-hand plane zero can be given by:

Equation 15.

f_{zRHP} = \frac{R_{out} (1 - D)^{2}}{2 π \times L}

where

D is the duty cycle
R_out is the output load resistor
L is the inductance

Equation 16 shows the equation for feedback resistor network and the compensation network.
