is the PWM transfer function where ∆VOSC is the oscillator ramp
amplitude and has a typical value of 4V.
Removing the dependence from the Error Amplifier gain, so assuming this gain high
enough, and with further simplifications, the control loop gain results:

The system Control Loop gain (See Figure 23) is designed in order to obtain a high DC gain
to minimize static error and to cross the 0dB axes with a constant -20dB/dec slope with the
desired crossover frequency ωT. Neglecting the effect of ZF(s), the transfer function has one
zero and two poles; both the poles are fixed once the output filter is designed (LC filter
resonance ωLC) and the zero (ωESR) is fixed by ESR and the Droop resistance.

To obtain the desired shape an RF - CF series network is considered for the ZF(s)
implementation. A zero at ωF = 1/RFCF is then introduced together with an integrator. This
integrator minimizes the static error while placing the zero ωF in correspondence with the L-
C resonance assures a simple -20dB/dec shape of the gain.
In fact, considering the usual value for the output filter, the LC resonance results to be at
frequency lower than the above reported zero.
