In continuos conduction mode (CCM), the transfer function of the power section has two

poles due to the LC filter and one zero due to the ESR of the output capacitor. Different

kinds of compensation networks can be used depending on the ESR value of the output

capacitor. In case the zero introduced by the output capacitor helps to compensate the

double pole of the LC filter a type II compensation network can be used. Otherwise, a type

III compensation network has to be used (see Chapter 6.4 for details about the

compensation network selection).

Anyway the methodology to compensate the loop is to introduce zeros to obtain a safe

phase margin.
