Abstract: This paper presents the detailed design of an active damping system for the stabilization of an open-loop boost converter in constant-power load (CPL) operation. The reported work analyzes ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. There's nothing more annoying than checking the time on your wall clock and realizing the battery's already dead, or plopping down on your ...

In any electronic circuit, the energy stored in an inductor must be properly channeled in the event of switching. This FAQ explains how a freewheeling diode can help achieve smooth inductor ...

Design engineers know that both brush DC and brushless DC (BLDC) motors can operate as generators, but many tend to avoid running brushed DC motors in generating mode because they believe it is ...

Want to test batteries or solar panels? You need a load resistor. With this electronic load resistor project, you can not only simulate a load, but also implement useful additional functions. Do you ...

Wearable technologies for hand gesture classification are becoming increasingly prominent due to the growing need for more natural, human-centered control of complex devices. This need is particularly ...

Open loop frequency domain tests are one way to check the converter stability. The gain and phase margins can be plotted across frequency in a Bode plot and important metrics like the cross-over ...
