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 ...

Compact motion control systems are essential to applications ranging from surgical robots to drones. While their design is based on the laws of motion, perfecting it is an iterative process. Motion ...

It is now practical to write software for real-time systems long before the actual computer hardware is sitting in a physical prototype. In today’s world it is rare to find electromechanical devices ...

PID control is the gold standard for most moving machines, and quite adequate in most applications that require closed-loop control. However, it's vulnerable to disturbances, and tuning can be tedious ...

The goal of controlling a system is to reach or retain stability. In control theory, stability is described with the Lyapunov stability criteria and mathematical models that set into relation the ...

When it comes to process-control systems, reliability is crucial and failure can be costly or dangerous. A combination of good design practices, component selection, and testing can enhance ...

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 ...

A new reference design developed by ROHM Semiconductor uses a single microcontroller (MCU) to control both sides of the AC-DC power supply — the power-factor-correction (PFC) AC-DC converter stage and ...
