INTRODUCTION
• PID action = Proportional, Integral, Derivative
• Proportional (P): Provides control action proportional to the
error, improving response speed.
• Integral (I): Eliminates steady-state error by integrating
past errors.
• Derivative (D): Predicts future error trends, adding
damping and
improving stability.
• PID Equation:- 2
INTRODUCTION CONTD.
• PID controllers are widely used in control systems
such as automation, robotics and biomedical
devices.
• They improve system response, reduce error, and
stabilize control loops.
• Analog implementations often use operational
amplifiers and other active components.
• Digital PID controllers are implemented using
microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGAs for higher flexibility.

MOTIVATION & OBJECTIVES
• Motivation:
– Existing designs are complex and costly.
– Many use non-commercial ICs or large number of
components.
– Require buffers for cascading.
• Objectives:
– Explore compact PID using active/passive components.
– Employ commercially available IC AD844(CFOA).
– Design and validate through simulations and hardware
prototype .

PROBLEM FORMULATION
• Complexity:
– Maintain stability with minimal blocks.
– Mapping Kp, Ki, Kd into circuit element values.
– Handle CFOA, OTA, Opamp ICS parasitics and non-
idealities.
– Ensure tunability and robustness.
• Relevance:
– Compact and low-cost PID for IoT, robotics,
biomedical and industrial automation.

LITERATURE REVIEW
• Prior designs use many ICs or complex blocks →
bulky & costly.
• Some require floating capacitors → not IC-friendly.
• Most are not compact or easily cascadeable.
• Gap Identified: -
Need for a low-component PID design using
modern active blocks (e.g., AD844) with grounded
passive elements for easy IC integration.
