Many students do not have a deep understanding of slope or rate of change. Various factors help explain why such a deep understanding is difficult to acquire. These factors include the following: the ...

In this math tutorial, we look at how to calculate slope between two points. We demonstrate using the slope formula and applying it to various coordinate pairs to find the rate of change. This algebra ...

While current-mode control (CMC) remains the much preferred PWM scheme for switchmode power supplies, its advantages aren't automatic. Indeed, ensuring stability in a switchmode supply involves such ...

Geotechnical engineers will acquire a greater understanding of catastrophic earthwork failures following the creation of a large-scale National Engineered Slope Simulator at Loughborough University.

(Part 1 of this article provides an overview of basic current-mode control (CMC) circuits and demonstrates the need for slope compensation). Let's assume a typical application where V out and L are ...
