Figure 7 shows the equivalent circuit of a boost converter
using the SC4502/SC4502H. The output filter capacitor
and the load form an output pole at frequency:

The zero formed by C2 and its equivalent series resistance
(ESR) is neglected due to low ESR of the ceramic output
capacitor.

There is also a right half plane (RHP) zero with angular
frequency:

ωz2 decreases with increasing duty cycle D and increasing
IOUT. Using the 5V to 12V boost regulator (1.4MHz) in
Figure 1(a) as an example,
The resulting UVLO hysteresis is:
