VIPer53 - E
Transconductance error amplifier
The lowest load gives another condition for stability: The frequency FBW1 must not encounter
the second order slope generated by the load pole and the integrator part of the error
amplifier. This condition can be met by adjusting the CCOMP value:

The above formula gives a minimum value for CCOMP. It can be then increased to provide a
natural soft start function as this capacitor is charged by the error amplifier current capacity
ICOMPhi at start-up.
