PRODUCTION DATA.
Each of the two internal high-gain error amplifiers generates an error signal proportional to the difference between the regulated output voltage and an internal precision reference (0.8 V). The output of each error amplifier is connected to the COMP pin allowing the user to provide loop compensation components. Generally a Type II network is recommended. This network creates a pole at 0 Hz, a mid-band 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. Only one error amplifier is required when configuring the controller as a two-channel, single-output interleaved regulator. For these applications, the channel1 error amplifier (FB1, COMP1) is configured as the master error amplifier. The channel2 error amplifier must be disabled by connecting the FB2 pin to the VCC2 pin. When configured in this manner the output of the channel2 error amplifier (COMP2) is disabled and have a high output impedance. To complete the interleaved configuration the COMP1 and the COMP2 pins must be connected together to facilitate PWM control of channel2 and current sharing between channels.
