Buck switching power supplies usually use a PWM voltage control to stabilize the output voltage at the reference voltage level. If a classical PWM control technique is used, than high EMI noise peaks appear at the switching frequency and its harmonics. Spreading of the output voltage spectrum can be done, for example, by chaotification of the PWM command signal. This kind of the switching power supplies with low EMI is utilize in electronics equipments from different domains: medical, aeronautics etc. The proposed nonlinear control is based on the opto-coupler nonlinear characteristic included into nonlinear circuit of the feedback loop. The feedback nonlinear circuit assures a symmetrical nonlinear characteristic using two opto-couplers and a differential amplifier. The nonlinear characteristic is designed to minimize output voltage ripple. The nonlinear characteristic is initially modeled by a look-up table for an easy designing by changing of the characteristic parameters using trial and error method. The feasibility and effectiveness of this new and relative simple method is shown by simulation.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
