The pole introduced by the optocoupler needs to be
considered. The pole location is dependant on the biasing
conditions of the optocoupler. The internal 16.7 k
W
pullup
resistor and the output capacitance of the optocoupler set the
pole at 4.7 kHz, as shown in Figure 14. The location of this
pole limits the available bandwidth of the system.
The evaluation board design uses the k
−
factor approach to
pole and zero placement, and a phase margin of 65
°
is
chosen. For the type 2 compensation network, the k

is found using Equation 27,

where PM is the desired phase margin, and PS is the phase

1 kHz, the phase caused by the power stage is

resulting k value is 4.2. The pole frequency, f

The zero frequency is set to 240 Hz.
The bandwidth of the optocoupler can be used to set the
pole location of the compensation network. In this case,
adding capacitance to satisfy the k
−
factor calculations limits
the bandwidth of the system and causes slowing of the
transient response and increased output ripple. The
capacitance needed to place the zero is calculated using
Equation 30.

The open loop response is measured by injecting an ac
signal across R19 using a network analyzer and an isolation
transformer as shown in Figure 18. The open loop response
is the ratio of B to A.
