Power supplies use control-loop circuits to produce constant voltage or current. The transfer function—gain and phase as a function of frequency—provides valuable information about a control loop’s ...

Designing the compensation network in a DC/DC converter can be a mystery if one does not know where to place the poles and zeros of the error amplifier and how much ...

FPGAs provide increased precision and performance to mitigate disturbances found in typical laser test beds. Taking high-precision measurements, such as those for molecular and atomic applications, ...

The design of a closed-loop switch-mode power supply creates a path between the variable a designer wants to monitor and the control pin of the designer's converter. This control pin can be the peak ...

Abstract: Linear time-invariant (LTI) output feedback controllers are known to suffer from inherent robustness limitations when applied to plants with unstable poles and non-minimum phase (NMP) zeros.
