From the Editors Desk (January newsletter)

New control techniques clear a path for higher performance in power supplies and motor drives. Some involve a refinement of existing methods to address some pressing design goals, while others take a novel approach aimed more at solving fundamental challenges in power conversion. An example of the latter may be found in Tom Lawson’s article on Predictive Energy Balancing, a control technique his company developed to overcome an inherent conflict in the design of PWM-controlled power supplies, which is how to achieve both stability and agility without compromise. Meanwhile, two other articles in this issue discuss refinements of voltage-mode control to benefit point-of-load regulators and microstepping motor drives. One control method pursues jitter-free operation in a synchronous buck converter running at high frequency and narrow duty cycle, while… Read more»
