The controller must regulate the voltage Vchip delivered to the device to track the
setpoint Vcmd and be insensitive to variations in load current iLoad. The control
structure consists of a feedback compensator and a disturbance feedforward
compensator. The voltage Vin going into the amplifier is limited to. The
controller sampling rate is 10 MHz (sample time Tm is 1e-7 seconds).
Performance Requirements
This application is challenging because the controller bandwidth must approach the
Nyquist frequency pi/Tm = 31.4 MHz. To avoid aliasing troubles when discretizing
continuous-time controllers, it is preferable to tune the controller directly in discrete
time.
