for C

to limit switching frequency ripple at the V

pin.
In Figure 10, full loop phase/gain characteristics are shown
with a compensation capacitor (C
C
) of 0.0033µF, giving the
error amplifier a pole at 240Hz, with phase rolling off to 90°
and staying there. The overall loop has a gain of 77dB at low
frequency rolling off to unity gain at 20kHz. Phase shows a
2-pole characteristic until the ESR of the output capacitor
brings it back above 10kHz. Phase margin is about 60° at
unity-gain.
Analog experts will note that around 1kHz, phase dips to
within 20° of the zero phase margin line. This is typical of
switching regulators because of the 2-pole rolloff generated
by the output capacitor and the compensation network. This
region of low phase is not a problem as long as it does not
occur near unity-gain. In practice, the variability of output
capacitor ESR tends to dominate all other effects with respect
to loop response. Variations in ESR
will
cause unity-gain to
