The loop filter adds a unit gain buffer after the 2nd cap. What's the effect of the unit gain buffer?
 

To drive the second filter resistor with a low impedance. I guess the output to the filter is a charge pump or something that cannot drive a resistor directly.

But personally, I only use the first part of this compensation - pole zero pair with another high pole to kill off the gain at high frequency.
 

Thank you!

Why a charge pump can't drive a resistor dircetly? The loop filter without the buffer is a 3rd order loop filter usuallly used in PLL.
