Synchronous buck converters have received great attention in low power, low voltage DC-DC converter applications in recent years due to their high efficiency. International Rectifier Inc. has ...

These three analysis methods are linked together, so this section is organized by control method. In contrast to the large-signal transient response that was reviewed in part 2, we will perform ac ...

Many articles and application notes describe the extraction of phase margin, using a non-invasive technique that extracts the phase margin from an output impedance measurement. The term non-invasive ...

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 ...
