Based on Equation 18, C_COMP is calculated as follows:

Equation 34.

Equation 35.

By selecting C_COMP following Equation 34, the typical phase margin is set to 90⁰ and the loop response is overdamped. In this example, F_{Z_EA} is placed at three times higher frequency than F_LP to have lower phase margin but faster settling time (K2 = 3, target F_{Z_EA} is 1.02 kHz). Recommended range of F_{Z_EA} is from 1 × F_LP to 4 × F_LP (1 ≤ K2 ≤ 4). Practical crossover frequency will vary with K2 with a range of 0.5 × F_CROSS to 1.0 × F_CROSS.

Equation 36.

A standard value of 33 nF is chosen for C_COMP.

R_COMP is selected to set the error amplifier zero at 1.02 kHz.

Equation 37.

A standard value of 4.64 kΩ is chosen for R_COMP.

C_HF is usually used to create a pole at high frequency (F_{P_EA}) to cancel F_{Z_ESR}. By using a small ESR capacitor, which can place F_{Z_ESR} greater than 10 × F_CROSS, the output capacitor ESR would not affect the loop stability. The maximum ESR, which does not affect the loop response, is calculated using Equation 38.
