Precise motion control often requires more than tracking position within a single rotation. Multi-turn encoders provide extended position feedback by counting complete revolutions in addition to ...

Popularity and perceived advantages of current-mode control (CMC) have made it de rigueur as a loop control architecture with many power management IC manufacturers and power supply vendors. Also ...

Every plant in the process industry most likely has several control loops that do not perform well. Although there are many factors that may negatively affect control loop performance, a few of these ...

Some low-dropout regulators (LDOs) use multiple feedback loops to improve output voltage transient response. In many of these cases, some or all of the loops are inside the IC. Accessing these loops ...

Control loop performance-monitoring software can help to improve loop performance at electric power plants by automatically collecting data, assessing several aspects of loop performance, and ...

Driving a light-emitting diode (LED) or LED array is not without its challenges. The LEDs require a well-designed constant-current source for controlled brightness. More specifically, the output ...

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 ...
