The FPGA device is an IC that can be programmable by software, to implement any logical function. Its inner architecture offers possibility to execute complex algorithms, even some parts running in parallel, improving law control dynamics. In consequence, the FPGA can control power electronics converters successfully. The several segments of the converter control are connected and synchronized by a state machine. Thus, this paper proposes a design of a synchronous state machine to control a PFC boost converter with FPGA. The communication between FPGA and ADC is implemented by SPI communication. The controllers and PWM modulator are build in FPGA to control the converter. Experimental results show the mains signals of state machine and also the boost converter in operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
