Improve Power Supply Response with Control Loop Measurements
A great power supply needs to respond quickly to load changes and maintain a constant output without excessive ringing or oscillation. Our oscilloscopes can measure the response of a power supply control loop as familiar Bode plots. This capability makes it easy to evaluate margins and compare circuit performance to design models. From these plots, you can determine gain and phase margins to gauge the stability of your power supply.
From this application note, you will learn:
- The fundamentals of control loops, frequency response analysis and Bode plots
- Gain and phase margins highlights
- Step-by-step guidance on setting up control loop response analysis using an oscilloscope
- Techniques for interpreting frequency response plots and measurements
