Description: Get the map of control theory: redbubble.com/shop/ap/55089837 Download eBook on the fundamentals of control theory (in progress): engineeringmedia.com In this video I explain the sensitivity function and try to demystify the equation used to solve for the nominal sensitivity peak. Sensitivity describes how much process variations affect your design. A design that has high sensitivity will be more susceptible to process variations, and therefore have a higher chance of going unstable, than a system with low sensitivity. Errata: 6:00 - I wrote a = r * C(s) * G(S) - y, I should have written a = C(S) * G(S) * (r - y) Don't forget to subscribe! I'm on Twitter @BrianBDouglas!
