Design Type II Compensation In A Systematic Way Liyu Cao, Ametek Programmable Power[email protected]Type II compensators are wiely usein t!e control loops "or power con#erters. A type II compensator !as two poles $one at t!e origin% anone &ero, ant!e &ero is placesomew!ere between t!e poles. Designers use t!is type o" compensator to pro#ie a p!ase boost to t!e control loop. It is known t!at t!e compensator reac!es its ma'imum p!ase boost at t!e geometric mean o" t!e &ero(s "re)uency ant!e seconpole(s "re)uency. To es ign t!is type o" compensator, t!e popula r approac! is to pla ce t!e esireloop crosso#er "re)uency at t!e geometric mean o" t!e &ero anpole *+,-. T!is approac! can prouce ma'imum p!ase margin "rom a gi#en compensator. owe#er, it oes not take t!e ot!er important loop parameter, t!e ga in margin, into consieration. In general, to make a control loop work properly, it is necessary to !a#e bot! enoug! p!ase margin angain margin, In t!is sense, it is important to !a#e a esign proceure t!at can take care o" bot! esign parameters. In t!is note, a systematic esign proceure is e#elopeto esign a type II compensator, w!ic! gi#es t!e esigner an easy way to take bot! p!ase margin angain margin into consieration anto a/ust t!e compensator until t!e esign re)uirement is satis"ie. + - OUT R1 R2 C1 C2 Vo Vi Figure 1.
