BUCK REGULATOR CONTROL CIRCUIT
The 34701 buck regulator utilizes a PWM Voltage Mode
topology with Feed-Forward to achieve an excellent line and
L
Figure 29. Buck Regulator Control Circuit
The integrated 40 pF capacitor CF charged through the
external resistor R4 provides the feed-forward ramp
waveform, the amplitude of which is proportional to the input
voltage, thus providing the feed-forward function.

The Feed-Forward implemented by resistor R4 and
integrated capacitor CF creates a pole in the overall loop
transfer function, the frequency of which can be calculated
from the following formula.
Figure 30 shows the Bode plot of the 34701 buck regulator
control loop gain and phase versus frequency.
The first double pole on the Bode plot is created by the
buck regulator output L-C filter, and its frequency can be
calculated as:

Where VRef is the buck regulator reference voltage
(VRef = 0.8 V typ.) at the INV pin,
Where CO is the value of the buck output capacitor and L
is the inductance value of the output filter inductor L.
VIN is the buck regulator input voltage,
Vm1 is the ramp generated by the internal ramp
generator (Vm1 = 0.5 V typ.).
The frequency of the compensating zero can be calculated
as follows.
