Help to understand opamp compensation

I've found this interesting lecture

but i don't understand open loop gain with resistor series capacitor as load.In fig. 6.15 opamp's open loop gain is represented: it is calculated (i think) at node Vout of fig 6.14, so pole is equal to 1/ (Ro+Riso)*Cl. I don't understand how zero is obtained.... Can you help me? Thanks


Try replacing the amplifier inside the opamp (ahead of the 28.something resistor) with a voltage source, and find the transfer function from that source to Vout.

Do your calculations right and you'll see both the pole at fpo1 and the zero at fzo1.
