Device description

21/34

To choose the other components of the compensation network, the transfer function of the

voltage loop is considered. To simplify the analysis is supposed that R3 << Rd,

where Rd = (R8//R9).

Figure 10. Compensation network definition

The transfer function may be evaluated neglecting the connection of R8 to PHASE because,

as will see later, this connection is important only at low frequencies. So R4 is considered

connected to VOUT. Under this assumption, the voltage loop has the following transfer

function:
