Solving for R
where V
L is the value of the regulator inductor, ESR is the
series resistance of the output capacitor, and V
the desired output voltage.

As indicated above, the position of the output capaci-
tor’s inherent ESR zero is critical in designing an appro-
priate compensation network. When low-ESR ceramic
output capacitors (MLCCs) are used, the ESR zero fre-
quency (f

pensation network is recommended (see Figure 6a).
As shown in Figure 6b, the Type III compensation net-
work introduces two zeros and three poles into the con-
trol loop. The error amplifier has a low-frequency pole
at the origin, two zeros, and two higher frequency poles
at the following frequencies:
Two midband zeros (f

LC filter.
