importance, if the output capacitor has a large
capacitance and/or a high ESR value. The zero,
due to the ESR and capacitance of the output
capacitor, is located at:
2. Choose the compensation capacitor (C3) to
achieve the desired phase margin. For
applications with typical inductor values, setting
the compensation zero, fZ1, below one forth of the
crossover frequency provides sufficient phase
margin. Determine the C3 value by the following
equation:
1
fESR
2πC2RESR
In this case, a third pole set by the compensation
capacitor (C5) and the compensation resistor
(R3) is used to compensate the effect of the ESR
zero on the loop gain. This pole is located at:

C3
2πR3 fC
3. Determine if the second compensation
capacitor (C5) is required. It is required if the
ESR zero of the output capacitor is located at
less than half of the switching frequency, or the
following relationship is valid:
1
fP3
2πC5R3
The goal of compensation design is to shape the
converter transfer function to get a desired loop
gain. The system crossover frequency where the
feedback loop has the unity gain is important.
Lower crossover frequencies result in slower line
and load transient responses, while higher
crossover frequencies could cause system
unstable. A good rule of thumb is to set the
crossover frequency to approximately one-tenth
of the switching frequency.

If this is the case, then add the second
compensation capacitor (C5) to set the pole fP3 at
the location of the ESR zero. Determine the C5
value by the equation:

The minimum on time of MPQ4559 is about

Since the internal bootstrap circuitry has higher
impedance, which may not be adequate to
charge the bootstrap capacitor during each
(1-D)×Ts charging period, an external bootstrap
charging diode is strongly recommended if the
switching frequency is about 2MHz (see External
