Basics of PWM Converters Controller Design. Part I. Fundamentals

An intuitive explanation of the basic concepts and theory of PWM converters controller design. This is a first part of a two parts lecture.\

[esijal]

Dear Professor, I really appreciate your amazing lectures. I hope you be healthy for a long time to teach more and more generations.

Nyquist plot was something I used to shy away from. This video helped me to come out of it. The controller design part was also excellent. Thank you so much

[sayantansinha]

The best part for me was "Nyquist plot is not user friendly". For the first time I heard a professor saying so. Thank you professor for such an elaborate presentation.

[FrancescoBazzani]

Wow, this is amazing. This basically explains how to automate the generation of any controller with few steps. Many thanks

[jimmylightfinger]

Sir, you have such command in your presentation. The points of interest are succinct without unnecessary rabbit trails except keys to watch for. I prefer this over the videos that incorporate fancy graphics that do not align with the message. Great work.
Be safe.

[NEERAJKUMAR-jbui]

Thanks for summarising a large part of controller design in 29 min.

[mohammadomarbadri]

Dear sir every time I watch a lecture from you. I learn something new. Be Healthy and take care.

[tonysonglalala]

Nyquist plot vs Bode plot is very intuitive👍 Recently I find that intuition only comes from deep understanding. Thank you professor!

[Beefmongering]

This was the cleanest explanation of phase margin I've ever Thank you very much Prof. Ben-Yaakov!

Hard stuff, hard to digest, but cannot be ignored when designing a controller

[lakshmijanardhan]

Hello Prof Yaakov,
I have watched more than 30 videos of yours. I see that the way you present the concepts in your videos are unique (in the sense of what I have been taught in school & what I see online). They are simpler to understand & easier to grasp. Your videos are an imitation of your experience & knowledge. I thank you so much for your wonderful service in making such amazing contents.

It would be so great to see how to integrate input filter, control loop and output filters characteristics for a reliable and stable DC/DC design. Thank you for your wonderful videos!

[VighneshNair]

Your Videos have the best in-depth technical content with easy to understand language. Thank you Professor

[EnriqueVetere]

Your videos are the best. Thank you for posting them.

[artunkopar]

Really thank you so much sir. Now control systems’ mysterious looking sides makes a lot sense in real applications.

[nimaztv]

excellent excellent presentation and very well explained. Thanks for that. I will recommend everyone to follow your Courses. you are great.

[edwardpaul]

Thank you Sam! Fantastic video. Very easy to follow and I liked the controller design approach.

[ankitkherodiya]

Thanks Prof. Excellent introduction to controller design.
Some of my wish list for your lectures
1. PCB Layout consideration for SMPS
2. digital controller design for pwm converters
3. dc/ac converter topologies & design

Keep doing great work.

Excellent lecture, Mr. Ben-Yaakov, as usual!

[victorsune]

Excellent explanation. Thank you for it. I'm a lecturer myself and have to explain controller design for DC/DC converters. My good luck that I have found your videos right when I am in the process of redoing my slides. Again, thank you for this very good explanation.
