We have used LM2841x for designing the power supply with following rating:
Input Voltage: 4.5V to 40V
Output Voltage: 3.3V
Output current: 100mA
Load type: IC load
The circuit is designed with the components as suggested by the "Web bench", but it shows warning for not enough phase margin(<35deg) at voltages <30V. At the minimum voltage 4.5V, the phase margin is shown as negative. Does that mean that the circuit is unstable? But the component values are provide by Web bench and at the max voltage 40V the phase margin is calculated as just over 35deg. Does that mean that the design would be unstable at minimum input voltage? Why does the "Web bench" provides component values based on best case input voltage (maximum) for phase margin and not the worst case (minimum) input voltage? How this issue could be resolved?
