I'm frequently asked why I refer to the effective inductance of a voltage reference, voltage regulator, or op-amp in my articles. Others question “Is there really an inductor in there?”, “Where does ...

The tuning of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control loops was an important change at HollyFrontier’s Navajo Refinery in Artesia, N.M. Its hands-on, “mandraulic” culture was no longer cutting ...

The new Ericsson 3E series BMR464-50A is a third-generation digital point-of-load (POL) regulator that features Dynamic Loop Compensation (DLC) and also extends output current up by 25% to 50A from ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...

Why the power-delivery network is critical in modern power electronics. How integrated voltage regulators can improve the PDN and simplify the PCB design. How IVRs improve power delivery to processors ...
