Application details
Compensation network
The control loop showed in
regulated to the internal reference (when present, offset resistor between FB node and GND
can be neglected in control loop calculation).
Error Amplifier output is compared to oscillator saw-tooth waveform to provide PWM signal
to the driver section. PWM signal is then transferred to the switching node with V
amplitude. This waveform is filtered by the output filter.
The converter transfer function is the small signal transfer function between the output of the
EA and V
resonance and a zero at F
modulator is simply the input voltage V

The compensation network closes the loop joining V
function ideally equal to -Z
Compensation goal is to close the control loop assuring high DC regulation accuracy, good
dynamic performances and stability. To achieve this, the overall loop needs high DC gain,
high bandwidth and good phase margin.
High DC gain is achieved giving an integrator shape to compensation network transfer
function. Loop bandwidth (F
