The first installment of this series focused on the key parasitic parameters affecting resonant converter design, along with component selection criteria and transformer design. This installment ...

A special technique produces very wide loop BWs in high-frequency PLLs (and hence, indirect (PLL) synthesizers), thereby achieving very low phase noise rivaling that of direct (MMD) synthesizers. A ...

A grouping of Mitsubishi Electric’s AC drives or variable frequency drives (VFDs). In the competitive landscape of machine design, engineers in food, pharmaceutical and manufacturing sectors face the ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

Learn to apply control systems in automotive, energy, aerospace, robotics, and manufacturing sectors. Apply feedback control laws to stabilize systems and achieve performance goals. Control systems ...

Inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) serial resonant circuits, as shown in Figure 1, can achieve both zero voltage switching on the primary side and zero current switching on the secondary side in order ...

Controlling hydraulic motion with precision involves understanding the fundamental difference between servo motors and hydraulic actuators. Electric motors generally respond linearly to control inputs ...

This is Part 2 of a three-part series. As discussed in Part 1 and recapped here, modern wireless communications systems (mainly superheterodyne radio transceivers) are now required to deliver higher ...
