After designing a control loop within a power supply, motor drive, or almost any power-electronics product, engineers must establish that they have achieved their target specifications for loop ...

How to read Bode plots to assess dynamic control behavior of a power-supply design. Observing Bode plots from an example voltage regulator to observe control-loop speed and stability. This article ...

These three analysis methods are linked together, so this section is organized by control method. In contrast to the large-signal transient response that was reviewed in part 2, we will perform ac ...

Feedback circuit design can be often intimidating. In this application note we will introduce a simple step-by step approach to designing a stable voltage mode feedback circuit for the TOPSwitch ...

Self-regulating systems with feedback loops, i.e., the routing back of the output of a system to its input, have existed since antiquity and have since become an integral part of modern technology.
