The days when converter manufacturers would have little option but to rely on the expertise of power-module specialists to design filters, optimize the control loop, and provide the result, have given ...

The term hot loop is relevant whenever switching regulators and their electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are involved. This topic especially comes up in the optimisation of trace routing on printed ...

Today’s electronic systems are becoming more and more complex, with an increasing number of power rails and supplies. To achieve optimum power solution density, reliability and cost, often system ...

In the first of a four-part series, Robert Dusenbury provides an overview of how his team went about designing and producing a golf putter to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of closed-loop ...

Some brief theory and typical measurements of phase noise. Standard analysis of PLL phase noise used by most CAD applications. How to produce the lowest phase noise at a PLL output. A standard design ...

Some brief theory and typical measurements of phase noise. How to produce the lowest phase noise at a PLL output. A standard design procedure for a typical Type 2, second-order loop. As stated in ...
