When programming the softstart time externally, simply use
the equation given in the Soft-Start Capacitor section above.
This equation uses the typical room temperature value of the
soft start current, 11A, to set the soft start time.
INTRODUCTION TO COMPENSATION
The LM2710 is a current mode PWM boost converter. The
signal flow of this control scheme has two feedback loops,
one that senses switch current and one that senses output
voltage.
To keep a current programmed control converter stable
above duty cycles of 50%, the inductor must meet certain
criteria. The inductor, along with input and output voltage,
will determine the slope of the current through the inductor
(see
Figure 2 (a)). If the slope of the inductor current is too
great, the circuit will be unstable above duty cycles of 50%.
A 10H inductor is recommended for most 600 kHz applica-
tions, while a 4.7H inductor may be used for most 1.25 MHz
applications. If the duty cycle is approaching the maximum of
85%, it may be necessary to increase the inductance by as
much as 2X. See Inductor and Diode Selection for more
detailed inductor sizing.
The LM2710 provides a compensation pin (V
C) to customize
the voltage loop feedback. It is recommended that a series
combination of R
C and CC be used for the compensation
network, as shown in the typical application circuit. For any
given application, there exists a unique combination of R
C
and C
C that will optimize the performance of the LM2710
circuit in terms of its transient response. The series combi-
nation of R
C and CC introduces a pole-zero pair according to
the following equations:
where R
O is the output impedance of the error amplifier,
approximately 1M
. For most applications, performance can
be optimized by choosing values within the range 5k
