ZHCSF14D March 2010 – October 2018 TPS54260
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS54260 uses a transconductance amplifier for the error amplifier and readily supports three of the commonly-used frequency compensation circuits. Compensation circuits Type 2A, Type 2B, and Type 1 are shown in Figure 48. Type 2 circuits most likely implemented in high-bandwidth power-supply designs using low-ESR output capacitors. The Type 1 circuit is used with power-supply designs with high-ESR aluminum electrolytic or tantalum capacitors.. Equation 18 and Equation 19 show how to relate the frequency response of the amplifier to the small signal model in Figure 48. The open-loop gain and bandwidth are modeled using the RO and CO shown in Figure 48. See the application section for a design example using a Type 2A network with a low-ESR output capacitor.
Equation 18 through Equation 27 are provided as a reference for those who prefer to compensate using the preferred methods. Those who prefer to use prescribed method use the method outlined in the application section or use switched information.
