Low speed brushless motor voltage feedback

A 4 poles brushless motor must spin at 527 rpm, which means each one of its 3 Hall sensors pulses at 17Hz. The STMicro L6235PD motor driver outputs 17 Hz PWM signal proportional to the speed. To ...

How do I explain this regulation action in terms of control theory?

Shown below is a current regulator circuit which ensures an almost constant current through R1 independent of Vin variations. There is no closed loop feedback system evident- How can we explain this ...

How to determine the phase margin when the Bode plot never crosses 0 dB?

I have a graph that looks like this. I am tasked to measure the phase margin, but the graph doesn't exceed 0 dB. The circuit is this. The input DC level is 0.6 V, which is the problem. When I change ...

Multi-Pole System - Why is there no bandwidth extension if loop gain is reduced?

[Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits by Behzad Razavi] The author explains that if the feedback (beta) is made weaker, the plot shifts down and hence, we hit the GX earlier now, thereby ...

what is the open and closed loop function of this system?

i found this in the text book. i solved by: 1- found the closed loop function of just the part of B(p) and its "feedback", let's call it B'(p). 2- after that i did H(p) = A(p) / ( 1 + A(p) * ...

Interesting driving circuit of a voice coil actuator

I have an interesting circuit to drive the voice coil stage of an old acoustic microscope. I am struggling to understand what the different functions of the opamps in this circuit are. The circuit ...

What is the significance of phase margin in an open loop amplifier?

I know the importance of phase margin to ensure stability in closed loop systems, but what about in open loop systems? I am designing a regulated common based LNA IC that operates in open loop. Can we ...

What is the controlled variable in this particular case?

I have a question, maybe you can help me because I am not sure of the correct definition. As an example I have a plant with a measured output y in a closed loop system. But as the feedback variable I ...

Closed Loop Transfer Function - PD Control

For the following control system, I am trying to find the characteristics of the system. I have firstly found the closed loop transfer functions \$T(s) =\frac{C(s)}{R(s)}\$ , to be: \$G(s) =K_p(s+9)...

Closed loop vs. open loop system analysis and design

I have found questions similar to mine in the forum but none were quite answered to my full satisfaction. I have two questions: 1) Why is controller design is traditionally done with the open-loop ...

Proportional Control Balance Beam

Bit of an unorthodox question I'm sure, but I'm making a balance beam (two rotors on either end of a see saw) with proportional control, and I can't seem to get it to balance at 0. The proportional ...

Find gain of this common-gate

I have a large circuit involving feedback as follows I am trying to find the closed-loop gain of this. Before I can do that, I need to find the open-loop gain. Thus, removing the feedback loop, M2 ...
