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 speed and regulation stability of the control loop for a power supply’s fixed output voltage can be observed and assessed with a Bode plot. Here’s how it’s done. How to read Bode plots to assess ...

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.

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 ...

Titanio series stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions include three new drives available with two open-loop (no encoder ...
