With so many inexpensive, dedicated analog PWM controllers available, why should a designer opt for digital feedback control using a DSC? One advantage to using a DSC is that operating modes (voltage ...

The digital control of switching power supplies is firmly established in everything from EV onboard chargers (OBCs) to power-supply units (PSUs) in AI data centers to renewable-energy systems that ...

Supplying power to a device, board or system is, by definition, an analog function that is characterized with parameters such as voltage, current and efficiency. However, the increased performance of ...

This online engineering specialization is ideal for learners and engineers seeking to advance their skills in the analysis, modeling, and design of high-performance control loops around switched-mode ...

Inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) serial resonant circuits, as shown in Figure 1, can achieve both zero voltage switching on the primary side and zero current switching on the secondary side in order ...

In 2012, Automation World published an article looking at the decision factors faced when choosing electric or pneumatic actuators. More than a decade later, manufacturing engineers and OEMs still ...

Creating a digital twin has become a major goal for digitalization, and it is easy to get intimidated by all the buzzwords. The digital twin concept is really about creating a macro control loop with ...
