The output capacitor is important also for loop stability: it fixes the double LC filter pole and

the zero due to its ESR. Section 6.4 illustrates how to consider its effect in the system

stability.

For example, with VOUT = 5 V, VIN = 24 V, IL = 0.9 A (resulting from the inductor value), in

order to have a

VOUT = 0.01·VOUT, if the multi-layer ceramic capacitors are adopted, 10 µF

are needed and the ESR effect on the output voltage ripple can be neglected. In the case of

non-negligible ESR (electrolytic or tantalum capacitors), the capacitor is chosen taking into

account its ESR value. So, in case of 330 µF with ESR = 30 m

, the resistive component of

the drop dominates and the voltage ripple is 28 mV



The output capacitor is also important to sustain the output voltage when a load transient

with high slew rate is required by the load. When the load transient slew rate exceeds the

system bandwidth, the output capacitor provides the current to the load. So, if the high slew

rate load transient is required by the application, the output capacitor and system bandwidth

must be chosen in order to sustain the load transient.

In Table 8 some capacitor series are listed.

Compensation network

The compensation network must assure stability and good dynamic performance. The loop

of the L7986 is based on the voltage mode control. The error amplifier is a voltage

operational amplifier with high bandwidth. So, by selecting the compensation network the

E/A is considered as ideal, that is, its bandwidth is much larger than the system one.

The transfer functions of the PWM modulator and the output LC filter are studied (see

Figure 10). The transfer function of the PWM modulator, from the error amplifier output

(COMP pin) to the OUT pin, results:

Equation 16

where VS is the sawtooth amplitude. As seen in Section 5.1 on page 9, the voltage feed-

forward generates a sawtooth amplitude directly proportional to the input voltage, that is:
