exceed the switch current limit. Using Schottky diodes with
lower forward voltage drop will decrease power dissipation
and increase efficiency.
DC GAIN AND OPEN-LOOP GAIN
Since the control stage of the converter forms a complete
feedback loop with the power components, it forms a closed-
loop system that must be stabilized to avoid positive feed-
back and instability. A value for open-loop DC gain will be
required, from which you can calculate, or place, poles and
zeros to determine the crossover frequency and the phase
margin. A high phase margin (greater than 45˚) is desired for
the best stability and transient response. For the purpose of
stabilizing the LM2715, choosing a crossover point well be-
low where the right half plane zero is located will ensure
sufficient phase margin. A discussion of the right half plane
zero and checking the crossover using the DC gain will
follow.
INPUT AND OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The switching action of a boost regulator causes a triangular
voltage waveform at the input. A capacitor is required to
reduce the input ripple and noise for proper operation of the
regulator. The size used depends on the application and
board layout. If the regulator will be loaded uniformly, with
very little load changes, and at lower current outputs, the
input capacitor size can often be reduced. The size can also
be reduced if the input of the regulator is very close to the
source output. The size will generally need to be larger for
applications where the regulator is supplying nearly the
maximum rated output or if large load steps are expected. A
minimum value of 10µF should be used for the less stressful
conditions while a 22µF to 47µF capacitor may be required
for higher power and dynamic loads. Larger values and/or
lower ESR may be needed if the application requires very
low ripple on the input source voltage.
The choice of output capacitors is also somewhat arbitrary
and depends on the design requirements for output voltage
ripple. It is recommended that low ESR (Equivalent Series
Resistance, denoted R
ceramic, polymer electrolytic, or low ESR tantalum. Higher
ESR capacitors may be used but will require more compen-
sation which will be explained later on in the section. The
ESR is also important because it determines the peak to
peak output voltage ripple according to the approximate
equation:
A minimum value of 10µF is recommended and may be
increased to a larger value. After choosing the output capaci-
tor you can determine a pole-zero pair introduced into the
control loop by the following equations:

ESR is small. If low ESR capacitors are used it can be
neglected. If higher ESR capacitors are used see the High
Output Capacitor ESR Compensation section.
RIGHT HALF PLANE ZERO
A current mode control boost regulator has an inherent right
half plane zero (RHP zero). This zero has the effect of a zero
in the gain plot, causing an imposed +20dB/decade on the
rolloff, but has the effect of a pole in the phase, subtracting
another 90˚ in the phase plot. This can cause undesirable
effects if the control loop is influenced by this zero. To ensure
the RHP zero does not cause instability issues, the control
loop should be designed to have a bandwidth of less than
1/6 the frequency of the RHP zero. This zero occurs at a
frequency of:

both component values are in the recommended range. After
checking the design at the end of this section, these values
can be changed a little more to optimize performance if
desired. This is best done in the lab on a bench, checking the
load step response with different values until the ringing and
overshoot on the output voltage at the edge of the load steps
is minimal. This should produce a stable, high performance
circuit. For improved transient response, higher values of R
should be chosen. This will improve the overall bandwidth
which makes the regulator respond more quickly to tran-
sients. If more detail is required, or the most optimal perfor-
mance is desired, refer to a more in depth discussion of
compensating current mode DC/DC switching regulators.
