New power supply designs are becoming harder to measure for gain margin and phase margin. This measurement is important because step load testing does not measure critical parameters such as conditional stability. Measuring gain and phase of the feedback versus frequency requires finding a point in the loop to inject a test signal. The signal at this point must be confined to a single path, with a low source impedance and high load impedance. A new technique has been developed which doesn't have limitations and can be implemented on virtually any PWM chip.
