depending on the output capacitor ESR. The DC Gain of the modulator is simply the input

The compensation network closes the loop joining FB and COMP node with transfer

function ideally equal to -gm

Compensation goal is to close the control loop assuring high DC regulation accuracy, good

dynamic performances and stability. To achieve this, the overall loop needs high DC gain,

high bandwidth and good phase margin.

High DC gain is achieved giving an integrator shape to compensation network transfer

cross 0dB axis with -20dB/decade slope.

As an example, Figure 9 shows an asymptotic bode plot of a type II compensation.
