Why is it easier to make a boost converter stable by feeding back a very small amount of output?

The image below is about peak current mode control for a boost converter. Someone said that it's easier to make it stable by feedback a very small of output like 1/10 Vout (or R2 << R1). ...

Why this overshoot in transient?

I am designing a forward converter whose output can be variable from 4V to 30V, 0-5A. This is going to be a pre-regulator for a linear converter. This is the schematic: I am using UC3844 controller ...

Why is this Type I compensator phase not 270 degrees?

This is a Type I compensator with a pole at origin. The transfer function between \$V_{in}\$ and \$V_{out}\$ is as follows: $$ \frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}}= -\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}} \frac{1}{s (R_{1}|| ...

Intuitive to get pole and zero points for lead compensator

The circuit below is a lead compensator. I can easily know exact the pole and zero of the network by deriving the transfer function. However, I am wondering if there is an intuitive method to get the ...

Intuitive way to see pole/zero directly from schematic

The image below is the electrical configuration and the transfer function of a type II compensator using OTA. By looking at the transfer function, we can easily see that the circuit has two poles (...
