Designing Control Loops for Linear and Switching Power Supplies: A Tutorial Guide
The control loop is a critical component of any power supply, and its primary function is to regulate the output voltage and ensure the stability of the system. The control loop consists of several key components, including the error amplifier, the compensation network, and the power stage.
Traditional "K-Factor" design relies on a fixed ratio of poles and zeros. Basso explains that the K-factor is a good starting point, but it assumes the power stage response is flat, which it isn't. He teaches a Manual Placement Method that yields better results than automated "K-Factor" calculations. Designing Control Loops for Linear and Switching Power
