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 ...

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 ...

The Rohde & Schwarz application note describes how to measure the control loop stability of switch-mode power supplies to get the best performance and confidence of the design. May 18, 2020 It will ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

Due to their versatility, ease of design, and low cost, flyback converters have become one of the most widely used topologies in power electronics. Its structure derives from one of the three basic ...

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.
