APPLICATIONS
Error amplifier transconductance phase and gain are
shown in Figure 11. The error amplifier can be modeled
as a transconductance of 2000µMho, with an output
impedance of 200kΩ in parallel with 12pF. In all practical
applications, the compensation network from V
ground has a much lower impedance than the output
impedance of the amplifier at frequencies above 500Hz.
This means that the error amplifier characteristics them-
selves do not contribute excess phase shift to the loop, and
the phase/gain characteristics of the error amplifier sec-
tion are completely controlled by the external compensa-
tion network.
In Figure 12, full loop phase/gain characteristics are
shown with a compensation capacitor of 1.5nF, giving the
error amplifier a pole at 530Hz, with phase rolling off to 90°

and staying there. The overall loop has a gain of 74dB at
low frequency, rolling off to unity-gain at 100kHz. Phase
shows a two-pole characteristic until the ESR of the output
capacitor brings it back above 10kHz. Phase margin is
about 75° at unity-gain.
Analog experts will note that around 4.4kHz, phase dips
very close to the zero phase margin line. This is typical of
switching regulators, especially those that operate over a
wide range of loads. This region of low phase is not a
problem as long as it does not occur near unity-gain. In
practice, the variability of output capacitor ESR tends to
dominate all other effects with respect to loop response.
Variations in ESR will cause unity-gain to move around,
but at the same time phase moves with it so that adequate
phase margin is maintained over a very wide range of ESR
(≥ ±3:1).
