Bode analysis is an excellent way to measure small-signal stability and loop response in power-supply designs. Bode analysis monitors gain and phase of a control loop. It performs this monitoring by ...

It is unlikely that a power operational amplifier will always be employed to drive a purely resistive load. For if that were the case, stability would rarely become a problem. On the other hand, a ...

In 1938 Hendrik Wade Bode, who worked at Bell Labs, published his asymptotic assessment of phase margin and gain margin, bearing his name [2]. The Bode plot is recognized for its simplicity and the ...

It’s impossible to directly measure the stability (gain/phase) characteristics of a device if the device’s control loop lacks an access point to apply a test signal or can’t be broken. For many of ...
