The modulator transfer function is the small-signal transfer
function of V
Gain and the output filter (L
break frequency at f
the modulator is simply the input voltage (V
peak-to-peak oscillator voltage ΔV
incorporates a feed forward loop that accounts for changes in
the input voltage. This maintains a constant modulator gain.
Modulator Break Frequency Equations
The compensation network consists of the transconductance
amplifier (internal to the ISL8540) and the impedance
networks Z
network is to provide a closed loop transfer function with the
highest 0dB crossing frequency (f
margin. Phase margin is the difference between the closed
loop phase at f

gain to the components (R

zeros of the compensation network:

Compensation Break Frequency
Equations
Assumption: R6<<R2, R6<<R3, and C10<<C6.
Figure 29 shows an asymptotic plot of the DC/DC converter’s
gain vs frequency. The actual Modulator Gain has a high gain
peak due to the high Q factor of the output filter and is not
shown in Figure 29. Using the guidelines in “Modulator Break
Frequency Equations” on page 14 should give a
Compensation Gain similar to the curve plotted. The open
loop error amplifier gain bounds the compensation gain.
Check the compensation gain at F
the error amplifier. The Closed Loop Gain is constructed on
the graph of Figure 29 by adding the Modulator Gain (in dB) to
the Compensation Gain (in dB). This is equivalent to
multiplying the modulator transfer function to the
compensation transfer function and plotting the gain.
The compensation gain uses external impedance networks
Z
loop. A stable control loop has a gain crossing with
-20dB/decade slope and a phase margin greater than 45°.
Include worst case component variations when determining
phase margin.
