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 ...

It is not always possible to access the feedback loop of a dc-dc converter to measure its Bode plot. In production hardware, it is usually not permissible to lift wires or cut traces to determine the ...

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 ...

For the development of dynamic systems in electrical engineering, control engineering, and even mechatronics, the steady-state response at the output of the system to harmonic excitation (sinusoidal ...

(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) AC parameters which describe the amplifier's performance over frequency can appear very ...
