For the MAX1928:
Resistors R1 and R2 are external to the MAX1927 (see
the
Setting the Output Voltage
section). I
OUT(MAX)
is the
maximum output current, R
CS
= 0.48V/A, and g
m
=
250μS for the MAX1927. See the
Electrical Characteristics
table for MAX1928 g
m
values. Select the closest standard
C
C
value that gives an acceptable bandwidth.
3) Calculate the equivalent load impedance, R
L
, by:
4) Calculate the compensation resistance (R
C
) to can-
cel out the dominant pole created by the output
load and the output capacitance:
Solving for R
C
gives:
5) Calculate the high-frequency compensation pole to
cancel the zero created by the output capacitor
