TPS40090 Multi-Phase Buck Converter and TPS2834 Drivers Steps-Down from 12-V to 1.5-V at 100 A
6.2 Closed-Loop Performance
The TPS40090 uses peak current-mode control. Figure 10 shows the bode plots at 100 A of
load current, where no droop function is implemented. The crossover frequency is at 89 kHz with
phase margin of 40°.
