If R
a negligible effect near crossover and the loop-transfer
function can be simplified as follows:
Setting LTF = 1 to solve for the unity-gain frequency
yields:
For stability, choose a crossover frequency lower than
1/10 the switching frequency. For example, choose a
crossover frequency of 50kHz and solve for R
the component values listed in
10kΩ:

The simplified schematic in
describe the operation of the MAX8731A when the bat-
tery current loop (CCI) is in control. Since the output
capacitor’s impedance has little effect on the response
of the current loop, only a simple single pole is required
to compensate this loop. A
