(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) AC parameters which describe the amplifier's performance over frequency can appear very ...

Bode plots – or frequency response graphs – are found in just about every piece of literature for high-end audio equipment. It’s a simple idea, graphing frequency over amplitude, but making one of ...

In 1938 Hendrik Wade Bode, who worked at Bell Labs, published his asymptotic assessment of phase margin and gain margin, bearing his name [2]. The Bode plot is recognized for its simplicity and the ...

How to read Bode plots to assess dynamic control behavior of a power-supply design. Observing Bode plots from an example voltage regulator to observe control-loop speed and stability. This article ...

It is unlikely that a power operational amplifier will always be employed to drive a purely resistive load. For if that were the case, stability would rarely become a problem. On the other hand, a ...
