Measuring Power Supply Control Loop Response with Bode Plot II

Posted on: December 15th, 2020 by Doug Lovell
15/12/2020
Stability is one of the most important characteristics in power supply design. Traditionally, stability measurements require expensive frequency response analyzers (FRA) which are not always available in a laboratory. Now, using a Siglent oscilloscope, like the SDS1204X-E with the newly released Bode Plot Ⅱ software, together with a Siglent arbitrary waveform generator (SDG or SAG) and a Picotes...
