8.4.4
To speed up the PWM response in case of heavy
dynamic loads, the duty cycle can be forced either to
0 or the duty cycle limit depending on the polarity of
the transient. This function is equivalent to having
two comparators defining a window around the
output voltage setpoint.
inside the window, it will produce gradual duty cycle
change proportional to the error signal. If the error
signal goes outside the window (usually due to large
output current steps), the duty cycle will change to its
limit in one switching cycle. In most cases this will
significantly improve transient response of the
controller, reducing amount of required external
capacitance.
Under certain circumstances, usually when the
maximum duty cycle limit significantly exceeds its
nominal value, the ADC saturation can lead to the
overcompensation of the output error.
phenomenon manifests itself as low frequency
oscillations on the output of the POL. It can usually
be reduced or eliminated by disabling the ADC
saturation or limiting the maximum duty cycle to 120-
140% of the calculated value. It is not recommended
to use ADC saturation for output voltages higher
than 2.0V.

Feedback loop compensation can be programmed in
the GUI PWM Controller window by setting
frequency of poles and zeros of the transfer function.

The transfer function of the POL converter is shown
in Figure 44. It is a third order function with two
zeros and three poles. Pole 1 is the integrator pole,
Pole 2 is used in conjunction with Zero 1 and Zero 2
to adjust the phase lead and limit the gain increase
in mid band. Pole 3 is used as a high frequency low-
pass filter to limit PWM noise.
Positions of poles and zeroes are determined by
coefficients of the digital filter.

when desired frequency of poles and zeros is
entered in the GUI PWM Controller window. The
coefficients are stored in the C0H, C0L, C1H, C1L,
C2H, C2L, C3H, C3L, B1, B2, and B3 registers.
Note :
Programming feedback loop compensation allows
optimizing POL performance for various application
conditions. For example, increase in bandwidth can
significantly improve dynamic response.
