This project demonstrates the implementation of a closed-loop control system for a pneumatic linear cylinder using an Arduino Leonardo and Simulink. The objective was to control the position of the ...

I'm frequently asked why I refer to the effective inductance of a voltage reference, voltage regulator, or op-amp in my articles. Others question “Is there really an inductor in there?”, “Where does ...

How to read Bode plots to assess dynamic control behavior of a power-supply design. Observing Bode plots from an example voltage regulator to observe control-loop speed and stability. This article ...

Power supplies use control-loop circuits to produce constant voltage or current. The transfer function—gain and phase as a function of frequency—provides valuable information about a control loop’s ...

Abstract: In the grid-connected inverter (GCI), the de voltage loop (DCVL) and the phase-locked loop (PLL) are utilized to generate the amplitude and phase reference for the current control loop, ...

A comprehensive understanding of switching regulator noise is important when designing a low noise switching regulator, says Leo Liu. Generally, traditional switching regulators are considered noisy ...
