Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment of the present intention, an adaptive feedback controller is configured to substantially reduce an error control signal defined by the difference between a command signal and the output signal of a controlled device. The adaptive controller comprises a step generator circuit configured to provide a control signal which is employed to vary the input signal received by the controlled device, The control signal is substantially in the shape of a ramp signal having a given slew rate. An adaptive slew rate computation circuit is coupled to the step generator so as to provide a slew rate compensation signal to the step generator to increase the slew rate of the control signal, when the controlled device is responding to a substantially fast varying input signal. The slew rate compensation circuit decreases the slew rate of the control signal, when the controlled device is responding to a slow varying input signal.
