It would be a masterpiece of understatement to suggest that control loop compensation holds much significance in power converter design. This is true in part because of increasing demand for ...

The course is focused on current-mode control techniques, which are very frequently applied in practical realizations of switched-mode. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand, ...

Among all power factor correction (PFC) topologies, totem-pole bridgeless PFC provides the best efficiency; therefore, it is widely used in servers and data centers. However, closing the current ...

Switch-mode power supplies can use digital current-mode techniques for protection against peak currents, magnetic field "ratcheting," and input-voltage variations. Digital control of switch-mode power ...

Spare a moment’s pity for the process engineer, whose job it is to keep industrial automation running no matter what. These poor souls seem to be forever on call, fielding panicked requests to come to ...

Fig 1. The buck converter schematic shows the voltage feedback loop and the fast peak CMC loop. The current waveform as seen by the shunt is the dominant signal at the ramp of the PWM comparator. Fig ...

Having problems with your process controls and electrical instrumentation? The source may be a grounding disturbance known as a ground loop. According to the ANSI/ IEEE Standard Dictionary of ...
