Abstract
A method for providing adaptive compensation for an electrical circuit where the electrical circuit includes an inductor-capacitor network connected in a feedback loop being compensated by a first compensation capacitance value and a second compensation capacitance value defining the frequency locations of two compensation zeros includes: measuring the inductance value of the inductor; when the inductance value is greater than a first threshold value, increasing the first and second compensation capacitance values so that the frequency locations of the two compensation zeros are adjusted for compensating the poles introduced by the first inductor and the first capacitor; and when the inductance value is less than the first threshold value, decreasing the first and second compensation capacitance values so that the frequency locations of the two compensation zeros are adjusted for compensating the poles introduced by the first inductor and the first capacitor.
