The TPS62816-Q1 offers two different compensations settings using the COMP/FSET pin. This allows the user to optimize the device regarding its transient response. For applications with no high requirements on transient response, a small output capacitance is desired for small size and low cost. In such cases, COMP1 must used so the TPS62816-Q1 is stable with as low as 32 μF of output capacitance. When the load is very dynamic, adding output capacitance improves transient response, but its effect is limited since this also reduces the cross-over frequency of the control loop. For such cases, COMP2 must be used as it increases the bandwidth, but requires a larger output capacitance for stable operation. The following scope plots are taken for the same conditions, but differ in the compensation setting. Since COMP2 demands 72-μF minimum output capacitance for stability, both plots were both taken with 72 μF on the output to allow the user to compare the results. One plot was taken for the COMP1 (R_CF = 8.06 kΩ) and one for the COMP2 (R_CF = 80.6 kΩ) compensation setting. The scope plots show that for the same output capacitance of 72 μF, the transient response for COMP2 is improved over the COMP1 setting.
