Feedback compensation, also called closed-loop control, can reduce or eliminate steady state error, reduce the sensitivity of the system to parametric changes, change the gain or phase of a system over some desired frequency range, reduce the effects of small signal load disturbances and noise on system performance, and create a stable system from an unstable system. A system is stable if its response to a perturbation is that the perturbation eventually dies out. A peak current mode flyback uses an outer voltage feedback loop to stabilize the converter. To adequately compensate the voltage loop, the open-loop parameters of the power stage must be determined.
