Introduction
The Stability Analysis Tool (SAT) is a Microsoft
In classical control theory, the stability of a feedback system is assessed by evaluating its gain and phase margin which are read directly from the Bode plot of the loop gain. The loop gain of a
The Stability Analysis Tool decouples the combined converter+load system into two subsystems; one representing the converter and the other representing the load. Tyco Electronics Power Systems provides converter data files on its web site. The customer can download the converter data file and import it into the SAT. SAT allows choosing one of five different configurations to best represent the combination of load representation and voltage sense location. The tool then allows assessment of the stability characteristics without the user having to build a prototype of the power supply and the load network and avoids making measurements.
