To mitigate this problem, a compensator should be designed
to give adequate phase margin (above 45°) at the crossover
frequency. A simple compensator using a single capacitor at
the COMP pin (C
which will ensure adequate phase margin if placed low
enough. At high duty cycles (as shown in
zero places extreme limits on the achievable bandwidth with
this type of compensation. However, because an LED driver
is essentially free of output transients (except catastrophic
failures open or short), the dominant pole approach, even with
reduced bandwidth, is usually the best approach. The domi-
nant compensation pole (ω

It may also be necessary to add one final pole at least one
decade above the crossover frequency to attenuate switching
noise and, in some cases, provide better gain margin. This
pole can be placed across R

OUTPUT OVER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT (OVLO)
The LM3429 can be configured to detect an output (or input)
over-voltage condition via the OVP pin. The pin features a
