Almost fifty years ago, H. Dean Venable pioneered a new method for analyzing and compensating power supply control loops (all servo loops for that matter).  At Venable Instruments, we have continuously refined our Frequency Response Analyzer systems, providing features such as isolated/floating inputs and outputs, modular instrument architecture for upgrades and software featuring circuit synthesis and simulation.  Below we've pulled together top content that addresses AC impedance measurements using an 74XX and an IOZ test configuration.
