LT1375/LT1376

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Error amplifier transconductance phase and gain are shown

in Figure 14. The error amplifier can be modeled as a

transconductance of 2000

µMho, with an output imped-

ance of 200k

Ω in parallel with 12pF. In all practical

applications, the compensation network from VC pin to

ground has a much lower impedance than the output

impedance of the amplifier at frequencies above 500Hz.

This means that the error amplifier characteristics them-

selves do not contribute excess phase shift to the loop, and

the phase/gain characteristics of the error amplifier sec-

tion are completely controlled by the external compensa-

tion network.

In Figure 15, full loop phase/gain characteristics are

shown with a compensation capacitor of 0.0033

µF, giving

the error amplifier a pole at 240Hz, with phase rolling off

to 90

° and staying there. The overall loop has a gain of

introduce multiple poles into the feedback loop. The

inductor and output capacitor on a conventional step-

down converter actually form a resonant tank circuit that

can exhibit peaking and a rapid 180

° phase shift at the

resonant frequency. By contrast, the LT1376 uses a “cur-

rent mode” architecture to help alleviate phase shift cre-

ated by the inductor. The basic connections are shown in

Figure 12. Figure 13 shows a Bode plot of the phase and

gain of the power section of the LT1376, measured from

the VC pin to the output. Gain is set by the 2A/V transcon-

ductance of the LT1376 power section and the effective

complex impedance from output to ground. Gain rolls off

smoothly above the 100Hz pole frequency set by the

100

µF output capacitor. Phase drop is limited to about

°. Phase recovers and gain levels off at the zero fre-

quency (

≈16kHz) set by capacitor ESR (0.1Ω).
