Step-By-Step Design of an FPGA-Based Digital Compensator for DC/DC Converters Oriented to an Introductory Course ABSTRACT:In this paper, a short introductory course to introduce field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based digital control of dc/dc switching power converters is presented. Digital control based on specific hardware has been at the leading edge of low-medium power dc/dc switching converters in recent years. Besides industry's interest in this topic, from the educational point of view, digital control is a multidisciplinary subject that is very attractive to include in various programs of study. The course presented here covers the calculation and implementation procedure for a linear compensator based on an FPGA for a dc/dc converter. The approach taken is structured in a step-by-step design flow combining theoretical justifications, use of CAD tools, and lab experience. The course can be adapted to students' various backgrounds and time schedules. Did you like this research project? To get this research project Guidelines, Training and Code...
