yes , the point 1 i say that this ripple will be a few KHz......depending on the resonant freqency of the output LC filter or the corner frequency of the C(out) and the Load R.
Though the point 2 i feel worried.........
i would have thought that leaving out compenasation components would probably give oscillation...but not a slow transient response?...on the contrary...the response without compensation would be as fast as it gets...and the SMPS would be reacting to everything straight away........
it would be crash banging the switch on and off.
...without compensation....
....we know with the SMPS, that when the feedback divider tells the output voltage is falling , the controller thinks it has to increase duty cycle....however, due to the delays in the system....the uncompensated controller does not realise that when it increases the duty cycle , the output had possibly ALREADY started going back up...but this was lost on the uncompensated controller and now the output voltage goes up much further than it would otherwise have done.....so we kind of need to filter the output voltage.......kind of "moving average" it.....so that we do not respond too hastily and end up making the (voltage) ups go even higher and the downs go even lower.
Though its worth remebering.........the Power integrations LNK304 etc family....these are offline controllers using ON/OFF control an require no compensation components whatsoever, and give perfect transient response and never go unstable.
the biq question is ....since they are so good , why do we not use them at higher powers too(?)
