Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) is the most common industrial technology for closed-loop control. A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller can be used to control temperature, ...

Maintaining control of a power converter is paramount to maximizing its efficiency, reducing energy losses and improving the life of the component. Proper control optimizes the overall performance of ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

Among all power factor correction (PFC) topologies, totem-pole bridgeless PFC provides the best efficiency; therefore, it is widely used in servers and data centers. However, closing the current ...

Network analysis is a powerful and well-established method of characterizing and optimizing a control system. [1] Unfortunately, making a successful measurement can be difficult and frustrating ...

The system in Figure 2 uses the ADF4372 PLL (see Figure 5), a wideband synthesizer with integrated VCO, that allows the implementation of fractional-N or integer-N frequency synthesizers when used ...
