Error Amplifier
The minimum frequency is programmed by R
Equation 1:
using
OSC
A fully accessible high performance Error Amplifier is
provided for feedback control of the power supply system.
The Error Amplifier is internally compensated and features
dc open loop gain greater than 70 dB, input offset voltage of
less than 10 mV and a guaranteed minimum gain−bandwidth
product of 2.5 MHz. The input common mode range extends
from 1.5 V to 5.1 V, which includes the reference voltage.
