Analog electronics in closed loop control systems became extremely popular from the 1960s through the 1980s. While digital electronics has emerged as the technology of choice today, analog solutions are still in common use where the cost of software design, development and maintenance for aircraft applications may be considered prohibitive for relatively simple control functions. Analog electronic controls in aircraft applications were enabled largely by the advent of the transistor and solid state electronics technology. This chapter examines how a digital controller can affect the dynamics of the control loop. The digital controller computes the output drives for each control loop. This task typically involves the generation of dynamic elements that emulate linear transfer functions in order to provide the appropriate control action and/or signal compensation for optimum dynamic performance of the system.
