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 ...

The first thing you may want to do is check if the default control loop (i.e. the PID settings that the product is delivered with) is good enough in terms of stability and load transient performance.

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 ...

Only through proper troubleshooting and then solving the underlying problems can control loop performance be improved. Process design certainly plays a role in control loop performance, but experience ...

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, ...

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, ...

Step motor control offers a powerful alternative in the right applications. Step motors are popular first and foremost because they are easy to use. They do not require an encoder to maintain their ...

Stepper motor systems are highly efficient when producing torque, but lack operational efficiency when not producing torque. Applied Motion Products offers insights on how to make a greener and more ...

In a recent study published in Nature Medicine, researchers investigated whether completely closed-loop insulin delivery could improve glycemic control among type 2 diabetes patients compared to ...
