transfer function...
May 05th, 2010, 10:35pm
 
hi

can anyone tell me how to find the transfer function..the procedure for the given circuit attached..

is the gain in this case a ratio of vcomp/(vref-vout) ?

thanks a lot...

Somi,

  If you have access, you might want to try looking at Chapter 3 of
"Switch-Mode Power Supplies" by Christophe Basso. Chapter 3 provides
detailed discussion of the controller transfer function. The topic is
also covered in "SMPS simulation with SPICE3" by Steve Sandler
as I remember.

                                                               Best Regards,

                                                                  Sheldon

hi,
   that is the gain from Vcomp/Vout...because Vref is bias, so how can you take into consideration while calculating gain?

thanks,
Rajasekhar.

More than that, since the opamp has no dc feedback, the ref. voltage will be amplified by a factor of 1E4---1E5 (dc gain). Even if Vref=0 there will be still an offset problem due to lack of resistive feedback - unless, the circuit is part of an overall stabilizing feedback loop.

ya buddy poor,
                     what you have said is correct..i guess this is a part of an controller, so it can stabilize overall _ve feedback..thanks for mention that

Thanks,
Rajasekhar.

This is an error amplifier used in controllers.  Here is how to derive the transfer function:

First, bring R2, C1 and C2 under one component, Z2.  R2 is in series with C2 and both in parallel with C1.

Z2 = ((R2+(sC2)-1)-1+sC1)-1

The amplifier becomes a differential amplifier in AC, with the components in the non-inverting input removed.  The transfer function is:

VCOMP=REFERENCE*(1+Z2/R1)-VOUT*Z2/R1

The differential amplifier transfer function is explained here:
