LTC3888 in LTpowerCAD

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LTC3888

Hi,

I'm a DFAE in Japan. Our customer would like to select optimum values for type 2 compensation of LTC3888. However we can't see LTC3888 in LTpowerCAD. Is it not available? If not, please tell me an alternative method.

Regards,

Hiroyuki

Hello,

As LTC3888 is uses OTA as its compensation, you can use controllers that also use that. But the thing is that the LTC3888 has a programmable internal error amplifier. Maybe you can try using the LTC3871 but it would not be accurate. My advice is that have a predefined value and get a bode plot, and then adjust from there. The datasheet has some information about the loop compensation.

Jhun
