Compensation when f
C
> f
ZESR
For larger ESR capacitors such as tantalum and alu-
minum electrolytics, f
ZESR
can occur before f
C
. If f
ZESR
< f
C
, then f
C
occurs between f
P2
and f
P3
. f
Z1
and f
Z2
remain the same as before, however, f
P2
is now set
equal to f
ZESR
. The output capacitor’s ESR zero fre-
quency is higher than f
LC
but lower than the closed-
loop crossover frequency. The equations that define
the error amplifier’s poles and zeros (f
Z1
, f
Z2
, f
P1
, f
P2
,
and f
P3
) are the same as before. However, f
P2
is now
lower than the closed-loop crossover frequency. Figure
4 shows the error-amplifier feedback as well as its gain
response for circuits that use higher-ESR output capac-
itors (tantalum or aluminum electrolytic).
Pick a value for the feedback resistor R9 in Figure 4
(values between 1kΩ and 10kΩ are adequate).
C12 is then calculated as:
The error-amplifier gain between f
P2
and f
P3
is approxi-
mately equal to R9 / R6 (given that R6 << R7). R6 can
then be calculated as:
C11 is then calculated as:
Since R7 >> R6, R7 + R6 can be approximated as R7.
R7 is then calculated as:
f
P3
is set at 5 x f
C
. Therefore, C13 is calculated as:
Based on the calculations above, the following com-
pensation values are recommended when the switch-
ing frequency of DC-DC converter ranges from 100kHz
to 500kHz. (Note: The compensation parameters in
Figure 2 are strongly recommended if the switching
frequency is from 300kHz to 500kHz.)
