Digital power development kits

17 April 2013 Design Automation

The TI C2000 microcontroller (MCU) Interleaved Power Factor Correction (PFC) Kit offers best-in-class efficiency, power factor (PF) and total harmonic distortion (THD) performance, supporting advanced power metering functions and alternating current (AC) lines.

Providing complete training materials, the Digital Power Workshop Kit provides a robust, low-voltage, safe training environment, targeted for power supply engineers seeking to easily transition from analog power design to digital modes.

Each of the digital power kits contains complementary analog components, such as amplifiers, isolators, secondary power devices, linear regulators and MOSFET drivers. These components are tested to work with the C2000 MCU devices in a digital power system, yielding a complete system kit for design needs.

The Interleaved PFC Kit has a working voltage of 120/220 V a.c. to a 400 V d.c. output board and supports up to 500 W. It comes with free software and schematics for advanced PFC control, as well as modular software for metering functions. These software libraries help designers use the Piccolo MCU’s Control Law Accelerator (CLA) to free up the MCU’s main C2000 CPU to double performance and enable system host functions.

The Digital Power Workshop Kit supports multiple digital power control topologies and techniques. This includes voltage mode control, average current mode control and peak current mode control. Other topics include closing the control loop in the digital domain, tuning for efficiency and more.
