Typical circuits textbooks tell us that there are four basic feedback topologies. The impression is given (if not stated) that a given feedback circuit will conform to one of these four topologies.

What is hard about analyzing feedback circuits is the extraction from the circuit diagram of the simple block diagram found in active circuits and control textbooks. To start with a relatively easy ...

The hysteretic power supply is simpler than the voltage- or current-mode closed-loop-control dc-dc switchers, although its simplicity may be a bit deceiving due to component variations and potential ...
