About this course

This class explores control methods for switched-mode power converters, blending foundational concepts with advanced techniques to provide participants with practical, actionable insights. It begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of switched-mode power converter control and delves into the three primary control strategies: current mode, voltage mode, and Constant-On-Time (COT) control. Participants will gain a solid understanding of performance and stability analysis through AC analysis, with practical applications of Bode plots to optimize control loop performance, while also exploring the role of poles and zeroes in control system design to refine compensation techniques for improved stability and transient response. Additionally, the class features design examples and test results, bridging theory with real-world applications and equipping participants with the skills to confidently apply their knowledge.
