feedback loop.
As with any feedback loop, identifying the gain and phase
contribution of the various elements in the loop is critical.
Figure 18 shows the key equivalent elements of a boost
converter. Because of the fast current control loop, the
power stage of the IC, inductor and diode have been replaced
by a combination of the equivalent transconductance
