The op-amp is the workhorse of analog IC design. It has been studied extensively by IC designers from all over the world for over 30 years now. Today, new topologies and techniques are being investigated to deal with the ever-shrinking supply voltages of newer SoC's (Systems on Chip) fabricated in the 130, 90, 65, and even 45 nanometers CMOS process nodes. Most circuits in these SoC's need to run from 1.2 Volts or lower supply voltages. Although low-Vth devices can be used in a pinch, they add to the cost of fabrication and therefore should be avoided. In addition, consumers' insatiable appetite for higher data rates and bandwidth in wireless communications puts pressure on IC designers everywhere to design faster and faster (but still very stable) analog circuits, just about all of which utilize an op-amp or three somewhere. Of course, consumers also want their wireless handhelds to go on for as long as possible without recharging, which means analog designers always need to be very keen on the power consumption of their blocks. Every micro-amp counts.

How to design a DC-DC Control Loop?

How to design a DC-DC Control Loop?

http://yourcircuits.com/inc/sdetail/3536

Details:
Designing the compensation network in a DC/DC converter can be a mystery if one does not know where to place the poles and zeros of the error amplifier and how much gain the error amp needs. Normally, a lot of trial and error is used to try to stabilize the control loop of a DC/DC converter. Here's a systematic approach to getting the job done.
