For some very simple circuit, a two-pole RC lowpass filter in this case, we can very easily derive the algebraic transfer function and look at the circuit’s gain and phase properties. An examination ...

In a previous article (“Circuit Dynamics for Design”), we reviewed some of the mathematical properties of transfer functions in the s-domain and how generally to find the open-circuit time constants ...

Modeling is the single most important activity in mechatronic system design and this article focuses on some techniques and tools engineers can use to create mathematical models from the various ...

Small-signal analysis of switching dc-dc converters determines their specific transfer functions, for example, for stability analysis or design of a proper input filter. Transfer functions of interest ...

A switching dc-dc converter converts an input voltage to an output of a different magnitude and/or polarity with high efficiency. Typically, such a converter must be regulated; that is, able to ...
