Compensation network
The compensation network has to assure stability and good dynamic performance. The loop
of the L5988D is based on the voltage mode control. The error amplifier is a voltage
operational amplifier with high bandwidth. So selecting the compensation network the E/A
will be considered as ideal, that is, its bandwidth is much larger than the system one.
The transfer functions of PWM modulator and the output LC filter are studied. The transfer
function PWM modulator, from the error amplifier output (COMP pin) to the OUT pin, results:
Equation 20
GPW0fSW0 = -V-V---I-sN-- HfSW0
where VS is the sawtooth amplitude and H represent its reliance on the switching frequency.
As seen in Section 5.2 on page 15, the voltage feed forward generates a sawtooth
amplitude directly proportional to the input voltage, that is:
Equation 21
VSfSW0 = K VIN HfSW0
The internal saw tooth is designed in order to have the maximum amplitude at the natural
switching frequency of the device.
At fSW0 = 400 kHz the PWM modulator can be written as:
Equation 22
GPW0400 kHz = K-1-- = -V----S------4--V-0---0-I-N----k---H----z---- = 9
The synchronization of the device with an external clock fed into the SYNCH pin and the
adjustment of the switching frequency through the FSW pin modify the gain of the internal
saw tooth (see Section 5.2 on page 15).
