Bode Plot and Power Supply Stability Criteria

PovilasKubilius , 04-01-2021, 06:59 AM
Hi,
I designed flyback SMPS and now have to design compensation around it.
I know about Bode plot and how to do it. But it seems that what ever I do and what ever path I chose I can't measure or alive the GM or PM.
I tried to go academic route and calculate everything by hand/excel but it not reflect true world measurements.
I tried to measure Plant of SMPS but noise is to strong. So can any one help me to learn how to design compensation of SMPS and how to measure it.
One of my measurements is showed in photo, DCM mode .
Thanks for help!!!!

Hi Povilas,

Try datasheet in attachment, chapter 7.3.11.

Hope this could be helpful
Dave shows you a neat trick on how to get a real time frequency response bode plot on your oscilloscope using your function generator. Useful for filter or s...

Can @Steve.Picotest Help me on this? I know how to measure it, I don't know what part cause is positive phase.

@qdrives Interesting link. I watched also the EMC videos and I contacted Ali if he would be interested to have a recorded call for possible youtube video. Thanks for pointing out his channel.
