During a VID transition, the resulting change in voltage on the FB pin
and the COMP pin causes an AC current to flow through the error
amplifier compensation components from the FB to the COMP pin.

During DVID transitions, extra current builds up in the output
capacitors due to the C*dv/dt. The current is sensed by the
controller and fed across the feedback resistor creating extra
droop (if enabled) and causing the output voltage not properly
tracking the DAC voltage. Placing a series R-C to ground from the
FB pin can sink this extra DVID induced current.
This VID-on-the-fly compensation network works by sourcing AC
current into the FB node to offset the effects of the AC current
flowing from the FB to the COMP pin during a VID transition. To
create this compensation current, the controllers set the voltage
on the DVC pin to be 4/3 of the voltage on the DAC. Since the
error amplifier forces the voltage on the FB pin and the DAC to be
equal, the resulting voltage across the series RC between DVC
and FB is equal to the DAC voltage. The RC compensation

desired amount of compensation current.
When the output voltage overshoots during DVID, the RDVC-CDVC
network can be used to compensate the movement of the
error-amplifier compensation network. When the output voltage
is lagging from DAC (or SVALERT#) or having a rough-off prior to
the final settling of DVID, the R-C network can be used to
compensate for the extra droop current generated by the
C*dv/dt. Sometimes, both networks can work together to
achieve the best result. In such case, both networks need to be
fine tuned in the board level for optimized performance.
