Modulator Break Frequency Equations
The compensation network consists of the error amplifier
(internal to the ISL6522) and the impedance networks Z
and Z
a closed loop transfer function with the highest 0dB crossing
frequency (f
is the difference between the closed loop phase at f
180 degrees. The equations below relate the compensation
network’s poles, zeros and gain to the components (R1, R2,
R3, C1, C2, and C3) in Figure 8. Use these guidelines for
locating the poles and zeros of the compensation network:

Figure 8 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 8. Using the above guidelines 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
amplifier. The closed loop gain is constructed on the log-log
graph of Figure 8 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
degrees. Include worst case component variations when
determining phase margin.
Component Selection Guidelines
Output Capacitor Selection
An output capacitor is required to filter the output and supply
the load transient current. The filtering requirements are a
function of the switching frequency and the ripple current.
The load transient requirements are a function of the slew
rate (di/dt) and the magnitude of the transient load current.
These requirements are generally met with a mix of
capacitors and careful layout.
Modern microprocessors produce transient load rates above
1A/ns. High frequency capacitors initially supply the transient
and slow the current load rate seen by the bulk capacitors.
The bulk filter capacitor values are generally determined by
