One reason I like to write this blog is because it allows me to research new areas of power and analog electronics. Another reason I value the research is I have the opportunity to simplify ...

The hysteretic power supply is simpler than the voltage- or current-mode closed-loop-control dc-dc switchers, although its simplicity may be a bit deceiving due to component variations and potential ...

Plastic ketchup bottles have a valve in the lid that opens to let ketchup out, and that sometimes "sputters" if the bottle is squeezed too hard. Dutch scientists have copied that mechanism to create ...

Many textbooks and technical articles explain how those voltage mode (VM) 1 and current mode (CM) 2 controls work. Not much information exists about HM control, however, even though many newly ...

The circuitry for hysteretic control in traditional switchmode power supplies is relatively simple and doesn't require compensation for stability, as with voltage ...
