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 ...

Application flexibility and cost concerns are creating a demand for intelligent power-supply designs that support soft configuration in production and external control. These advanced power supplies ...

All power supplies require some type of feedback loop to regulate the output voltage. A simplified diagram of a buck controller is shown in Figure 1 with a pulse ...

Explore how digital feedback controllers manage motors, pressure, temperature, and more, and learn why ADC and DAC performance are crucial when designing robust embedded systems. How to define the ...

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 ...
