7.4.3 Error Amplifier and PWM Comparator

The internal high gain error amplifier generates an error signal proportional to the difference between the regulated output voltage and an internal precision reference (1.225 V). The output of the error amplifier is connected to the COMP pin allowing the user to provide loop compensation components, generally a type II network, as illustrated in Functional Block Diagram. This network creates a pole at DC, a zero and a noise reducing high frequency pole. The PWM comparator compares the emulated current sense signal from the RAMP generator to the error amplifier output voltage at the COMP pin.
