diode must have current rating higher than the maximum output current and a reverse voltage rating higher
than the maximum input voltage.
STABILITY COMPENSATION
Figure 5: Stability Compensation
CCOMP2 is needed only for high ESR output capacitor The feedback loop of the IC is stabilized by the
components at the COMP pin, as shown in Figure 5.
The DC loop gain of the system is determined by the following equation:

The following steps should be used to compensate the IC:
STEP 1. Set the cross over frequency at 1/10 of the switching frequency via RCOMP
