APPLICATION INFORMATION
Symbol Used In Application Information:
Output Inductor Selection
tor ripple current, power rating, working frequency and
efficiency. Larger inductor value normally means smaller
ripple current. However if the inductance is chosen too
large, it brings slow response and lower efficiency. Usu-
ally the ripple current ranges from 20% to 40% of the
output current. This is a design freedom which can be
decided by design engineer according to various appli-
cation requirements. The inductor value can be calcu-
lated by using the following equations:
Output Capacitor Selection

state(DC) load condition as well as specification for the

of iterations to satisfy both condition.

output capacitors, DC ripple spec is easy to be met, but
mutiple ceramic capacitors are required at the output to
meet transient requirement.

Compensator Design
power stage, the power system has 180
and therefore, is unstable by itself. In order to achieve
accurate output voltage and fast transient response,
compensator is employed to provide highest possible
bandwidth and enough phase margin.Ideally,the Bode
plot of the closed loop system has crossover frequency
between1/10 and 1/5 of the switching frequency, phase
margin greater than 50
20dB/decade. Power stage output capacitors usually
decide the compensator type. If electrolytic capacitors
are chosen as output capacitors, type II compensator
can be used to compensate the system, because the
zero caused by output capacitor ESR is lower than cross-
over frequency. Otherwise type III compensator should
be chosen.
A. Type III compensator design
Sanyo oscap and poscap, the frequency of ESR zero
caused by output capacitors is higher than the cross-
over frequency. In this case, it is necessary to compen-
sate the system with type III compensator. The follow-
ing figures and equations show how to realize the type III
compensator by transconductance amplifier.
