How much slope compensation is too much in current mode control?
I'm designing a phase shifted full bridge for the first time, using UCC2895 with peak current mode control, and my calculations based on the datasheet lead me to some doubts.
My circuit is meant to be ...

Detecting missing pulses / minimum off-time in a fast pulse train
I’m working with a 3.3 V digital signal that behaves a bit like a timing puzzle.
Under normal operation, it produces a pulse train where both the high time and low time vary, typically anywhere ...

Power system stabilizer identification
This is a single input power system stabilizer (PSS) I found from this report. The PSS transfer function is given by
$$G(s)=K_\text{pss}\frac{sT_w}{1+sT_w}\frac{1+sT_{11}}{1+sT_{12}}\frac{1+sT_{21}}{1+...

Having trouble understanding the stability of following system
So I have the following transfer function where Kvp=0.15, and Kvi=1. This is open loop gain. The bode plot is as follows:
For unity feedback system (loop gain equal to open loop gain) although at 0 dB ...

Find complex conjugate pairs for transfer function bode plot
This is part of the datasheet for the LM5022, a boost converter. I've managed to figure out I can just take the zeros ZESR, RHP and the pole LEP.
However, I've figured out that the brackets with s^2 ...
