  • Hi Vladimir,

    I think one possible reason for the webench to give an Adjustable option is because with this you can add feed forward capacitor in parallel with your top feedback resistor such that you have a good phase margin on your design. Therefore it offers flexibility with compensation and your output capacitor ESR.

    Thanks
