Study on high-frequency digitally controlled boost converter
Résumé
This paper presents a completely digitally controlled high-frequency boost converter. The research focuses on the two key modules: Digital Pulse-Width Modulation (DPWM) and digital control-law. The proposed hybrid DPWM architecture, which takes advantage of Digital Clock Manager (DCM) phase-shift characteristics available in FPGA resource and combines a counter-comparator with a digital dither block, is introduced firstly, and then a digital control algorithm is designed. Finally, based on a Xilinx Virtex-II Pro FPGA board with 32MHz hardware clock, an 11-bit DPWM and a digital controller are implemented for a boost converter. The performance of the converter is validated by experimental results. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
