Setting the LTF = 1 to solve for the unity-gain frequency
yields:
For stability, choose a crossover frequency lower than
1/10th of the switching frequency. The crossover fre-
quency must also be below the RHP zero, calculated at
maximum charge current, minimum input voltage, and
maximum battery voltage.

When the MAX1870A regulates the charge current or the
wall adapter current, the system stability does not
depend on the output capacitance. The simplified
schematic in Figure 11 describes the operation of the
MAX1870A when the charge-current loop (CCI) is in con-
trol. The simplified schematic in Figure 12 describes the
operation of the MAX1870A when the source-current
