AN1262 APPLICATION NOTE
The synthesis of G1(jω) can be done by following the following step-by-step procedure:
a) Calculate gain and phase of G2(jω) at the desired crossover frequency (fc). That is:
G2c = G2(2 ⋅ π ⋅ fc)
Φ2c = 1----8π---0-- ⋅ arg [G2(2 ⋅ π ⋅ fc)] ;
G2(jω) will be calculated at maximum input voltage and maximum load, where the gain-bandwidth product is
maximum.
b) Calculate gain and phase of G1(jω) at f = fc in order for the overall open-loop gain to cross the 0 dB axis at
f = fc with the phase margin Φm:
G1c = G1(2 ⋅ π ⋅ fc) = -G---1--2---c- ;
Φ1c = 1----8π---0-- ⋅ arg [G1 (2 ⋅ π ⋅ fc)] = – 180 + Φm – Φ2c ,
c) Cancel the pole of G2(jω) by placing the zero of G1(jω) in the neighborhood:
fZ = 2--ω---⋅--Z-π-- = α ⋅ -ω2----o-⋅--u-π--t (α = 1 to 5)
d) Place the pole of G1(jω) so as to get the desired phase margin:

e) Calculate the unity gain frequency G10:
G10 ≈ 2 ⋅ π ⋅ G1c ⋅ f--c---f-⋅-P--f--Z--
The synthesis of G1(jω) is completed. The following step will concern the practical implementation of such func-
tion, that is the realization of a Type 2 amplifier. This will be done considering two cases, the secondary and the
primary sensing feedback.
16 SECONDARY FEEDBACK IMPLEMENTATION
This kind of feedback, shown in fig. 12, uses a popular arrangement with a TL431 as secondary reference/error
amplifier and an optocoupler to transfer the control signal to the primary side. The error amplifier of the IC is
then used as a current source whose characteristic is shown in fig. 12 as well: the voltage VCOMP is changed
(and the duty cycle is controlled) by modulating the current Ic sunk from the pin. A change of Ic causes a change
of VCOMP corresponding to a resistance RCOMP = 9 kΩ. The resulting transfer function is:
