The power stage transfer function is dictated by the modula-
tor, output LC filter, and load; while the feedback transfer
function is set by the feedback resistor ratio, error amp gain,
and external compensation network.
To achieve a -20dB/decade slope, the error amplifier zero,
located at f
pole (f
can be added to cancel the output filter zero at f
cellation of the output filter zero is recommended if larger
value, non-ceramic output capacitors are used.
Compensation of the LM20144 is achieved by adding an RC
network as shown in Figure 5 below.

A higher crossover frequency can be obtained, usually at the
expense of phase margin, by lowering the value of C

sate the LM20145 the stability of the system should be verified
for desired transient droop and settling time.

cancel the output filter zero assuring the crossover frequency
will occur before the double pole at f

value and ESR as shown in the equation below.

AVIN FILTERING COMPONENTS (C
To prevent high frequency noise spikes from disturbing the
sensitive analog circuitry connected to the AVIN and AGND
pins, a high frequency RC filter is required between PVIN and
AVIN. These components are shown in Figure 2. as C

should be placed as close to the IC as possible with a direct
connection from AVIN to AGND. A good quality X5R or X7R
ceramic capacitor should be used for C
SUB-REGULATOR BYPASS CAPACITOR (C
The capacitor at the VCC pin provides noise filtering and sta-
bility for the internal sub-regulator. The recommended value
of C
10 µF. The capacitor should be a good quality ceramic X5R
or X7R capacitor. In general, a 1 µF ceramic capacitor is rec-
ommended for most applications.
SETTING THE START UP TIME (C
The addition of a capacitor connected from the SS pin to
ground sets the time at which the output voltage will reach the
final regulated value. Larger values for C

start capacitors and the corresponding typical start up times.
