The days when converter manufacturers would have little option but to rely on the expertise of power-module specialists to design filters, optimize the control loop, and provide the result, have given ...

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 ...

A dc-to-dc converter regulates a varying input voltage to a (usually) fixed output voltage via a feedback control system. The feedback control system should be as stable as possible to avoid ...

Sunnyvale, Calif. — Maxim Integrated Products has introduced a series of low-power logarithmic amplifiers that control RF power amplifiers and transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), and detect RF power ...

Switching power supplies rely on feedback control loops to ensure that the required voltage and current are maintained under varying load conditions. Design of the feedback control loop influences ...

The non-invasive stability assessment is a method that uses an output impedance measurement to accurately determine stability without access to the control loop. The non-invasive stability assessment, ...

Take a look at mechatronics' applications in diverse industries, such as automotive engine systems, hard-disk drives and Web-transport systems, and you'll find a growing emphasis on "sensorless ...

A closed-loop system of insulin delivery (also called an artificial pancreas) may improve glycemic outcomes in children with type 1 diabetes. In a 16-week, multicenter, randomized, open-label, ...
