This article describes how Bode plots can be used as a tool to quickly assess if your power supply design will meet the requirements for dynamic control behaviour. Power supplies normally maintain a ...

It is not too often that a tool fails me. Most of the time I have made some mistake, so when a Bode Plot failed to predict an unstable system, I came down with a bad case of myopia. I spent so much ...

Negative feedback is used in voltage regulators, point-of-load (POL) regulators, voltage references, operational amplifiers (op-amps), and other electronic circuits in order to produce an accurate ...

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 ...
