My dearest friends, Please I am taking this opportunity to praise the relationship between you and Mosopower for ten years. Under your support, Mosopower group is growing in steady; and now is becoming one of the leaders in power industry.
Y-Parameters. Using y parameters, both the analytical and graphical criteria for determining stability and degradation with the addition of an input filter have been worked out by Erich-and-Polivka, and by Kohut. Erich-and-Polivka use impedance for their graphical criteria and Kohut uses admittance.
Modified. The above work has probably been overtaken by the work of Jang and Erickson on current-programmed control. They show that if the original Middlebrook criteria is passed, then one more criteria associated with the feed-forward loop of the current-programmed controller must be applied. This criteria is important near the boundary between continuous and discontinuous modes of conduction and at high frequency.
Important! A key difference between voltage-programmed and current-programmed converters is that current-programmed converters may show no degradation in gain or phase margins on Bode plots of the voltage loop just before going unstable. Either the current-programmed criteria or application of the full Nyquist criterion to the total loop gain of the filter and converter combination must be used to assure stability.
