  • Page 17: Cooling

    Maiman Electronics SF8025, SF8075, SF8150, SF8300 Larger proportional gain result is larger changes in response to the error, and thus affects the speed at which the controller can respond to changes in the system. While a high proportional gain can cause a circuit to respond swiftly, too high a value can cause oscillations. Too low a value and the circuit cannot efficiently respond to changes in the system.
