In the previous article, I showed how to compensate simple first-order systems. As a quick recap, a Proportional-Integral (PI) controller is all that is needed for compensating first-order systems ...

Click here for the enhanced PDF version of this article including diagrams and/or equations. Compensation of switching power supplies is an essential element of proper and robust power design. The ...

Many motion applications require high accuracy during and at the completions of moves. Even with perfectly optimized PID (proportional, integral, derivative) values to control position, the ...

In the last installment, we were halfway through the compensator design for a buck converter. As a quick recap, when designing digital compensators, the true system gain is different from the derived ...
