Pole-zero compensators are used to modify the magnitude and phase of feedback amplifier loops. This article goes beyond the textbook level of explanation to consider some of the less obvious design ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Type II compensators are widely used in the control loops for power converters. However, there are cases where the ...

In the last installment, we were halfway through the compensator design for a buck converter. As a quick recap, when designing digital compensators, the true system gain is different from the derived ...
