The MAX5951 uses a voltage-mode control scheme
that regulates the output voltage by comparing the
error amplifier output (COMP) with an internal ramp to
produce the required duty cycle. The output lowpass
LC filter creates a double pole at the resonant frequen-
cy, which has a gain drop of -40dB/decade. The com-
pensation network must compensate for this gain drop
and phase shift in order to achieve a stable closed-loop
system.
The basic regulator loop consists of a power modulator,
an output feedback divider, and a voltage-error amplifi-
er. The power modulator has a DC gain set by
V
the output inductance (L), the output capacitance
(C
Below are equations that define the power modulator:

The switching frequency is programmable between

the closed-loop gain is equal to unity, should be set to

The error amplifier must provide a gain-and-phase
boost to compensate for the rapid gain-and-phase loss
from the LC double pole. This is accomplished by utiliz-
ing type 3 compensation (see Figures 5 and 6) that
introduces two zeros and three poles into the control
loop. The error amplifier has a low-frequency pole (f
