Accurately predict loop gain in buck converters
|
2008-03-01 |
| An accurate and fast approach to predicting the loop gain with different output power filters for the buck converter requires only two closed-loop measurements using a network analyser and a few algebraic calculations. Designers can then predict the loop gain for any output power filter by putting the inductor and capacitor parameters into one algebraic formula |

Motor efficiency depends on PFC (Part 2)
|
2009-10-29 |
| Active power factor correction (PFC) can achieve very high power factors with reasonably sized components, although the energy efficiency may be slightly lower than with passive techniques (94 per cent compared with 96 per cent, for example) due to the addition of switching components. |
