This session presents a Construct Method, a streamlined framework for designing digital controllers for power converters using four fundamental building blocks. By replacing lengthy derivations with a repeatable construct-based process, the method enables faster development, predictable performance, and robust stability. Key DSP concepts—Euler’s identity, the Laplace Transform, and the Z Transform—are briefly reviewed, focusing only on the aspects most relevant to digital control. Practical examples show how the constructs combine to produce common compensation networks, supported by design rules that ensure reliable results. Worksheets written for Mathcad®, PSPICE®, and Excel® that replicate the given examples are provided to allow for individual exploration. The mathematical results are compared to a real life example to provide verification.
