Data
Ceramic capacitors are known to have low ESR. However, there
is a trade-off in using the popular X5R capacitor technology
because as much as 80% of its capacitance may be lost due to
derating as the voltage applied across the capacitor is increased
(see Figure 82). Although X7R series capacitors can also be
used, the available selection is limited to 22 µF maximum.
Electrolytic capacitors satisfy the bulk capacitance requirements
for most high current applications. However, because the ESR of
electrolytic capacitors is much higher than that of ceramic capaci-
tors, mount several MLCCs in parallel with the electrolytic
capacitors to reduce the overall series resistance.
COMPENSATION NETWORK
Due to its current-mode architecture, the
require Type II compensation. To determine the component
values needed for compensation (resistance and capacitance
values), it is necessary to examine the overall loop gain (H) of the
converter at the unity-gain frequency (f
Examining each variable at high frequency enables the unity-
gain transfer function to be simplified to provide expressions
for the R
Output Filter Impedance (Z
Examining the transfer function of the filter at high frequencies
simplifies to
at the crossover frequency (s = 2πf
series resistance of the output capacitors.

Crossover Frequency
The crossover frequency is the frequency at which the overall
loop (system) gain is 0 dB (H = 1 V/V). It is recommended for
current-mode converters, such as the ADP1878, that the user set
the crossover frequency between 1/10
frequency.
The relationship between C
follows:
The zero frequency is set to 1/4
Combining all of the above parameters results in
where ESR is the equivalent series resistance of the output
capacitors.
