System stability
The boost section of the LED7706 is a fixed frequency, current-mode converter. During
normal operation, a minimum voltage selection circuit compares all the voltage drops across
the active current generators and provides the minimum one to the error amplifier. The
output voltage of the error amplifier determines the inductor peak current in order to keep its
inverting input equal to the reference voltage (400 mV typ). The compensation network
consists of a simple RC series (R

dynamic performance of the boost converter and is strictly related to the operating
conditions.
Loop compensation
The compensation network can be quickly calculated using equations 12 to 16. Once both

get the optimal dynamic performance from the application.
The first parameter to be fixed is the switching frequency. Normally, a high switching
frequency allows reducing the size of the inductor and positively affects the dynamic
response of the converter (wider bandwidth) but increases the switching losses. For most of
applications, the fixed value (660 kHz) represents a good trade-off between power
dissipation and dynamic response, allowing to save an external resistor at the same time. In
low-profile applications, the inductor value is often kept low to reduce the number of turns;
an inductor value in the 4.7 µH-15 µH range is a good starting choice.
In order to avoid instability due to interaction between the DC-DC converter's loop and the
current generators' loop, the bandwidth of the boost should not exceed the bandwidth of the
current generators. A unity-gain frequency (f
take care not to exceed the CCM-mode right half-plane zero (RHPZ).
