In the control of nonlinear and linear systems, sometimes a slight nonlinearity is intentionally inserted into the closed control loop. “Slight” here means that the output of the inserted element ...

The voltage-to-current converter in Figure 1 can both source and sink current. The circuit is more flexible than some traditional current references that require different topologies for current ...

The first major performance item to review is large-signal load-transient response performance. Here, a large-signal phrase is used in contrast to a small-signal. A small-signal transient literally ...

In low-power USB and offline wall adapters, quasi-resonant and discontinuous current mode flyback converter topologies are a popular choice due to their low parts count and relatively low cost.

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.
