Stable operation of a SMPS (switching voltage power supply) hinges on action within the feedback control and compensation network. The way in which the regulator performs is also influenced by the nature of filters attached on either side of it between the source and load. This article shows how stability can be assessed using only knowledge of the system’s output impedance. … [Read more...] about Assessing SMPS Voltage Regulator Dynamics From Output Impedance

Rethinking the Power Delivery Networks of Mobile Robots
There are complex power system design and architecture considerations in the power delivery networks (PDN) of mobile robots, autonomous vehicles, and distributed static robots. This is due to the variation in the battery power source voltage plus the broad variety of loads that may be part of a typical system, such as, high-power AI computing systems, motor drives, sensors, … [Read more...] about Rethinking the Power Delivery Networks of Mobile Robots
