Objectives
-
To conduct a system level concept analysis to make sure the DC/DC concept fits the most common product needs.
-
To explore the possibilities and drawbacks with digital controlled DC/DC converters
-
To explore potential from new technologies such as GaN devices
-
To design and test a bread board to evaluate the performance
Challenges
To implement digital control “from scratch” and make it a competitive alternative to traditional analog control.
System Architecture
The architecture consists of a centralized microcontroller that controls three independent DC/DC-converter simultaneously.
Plan
-
First step is a conceptual design to be specified and defined.
-
Second step is to have a BB design Review.
-
Third step is to complete all tests and relevant analysis as input to the final review
Current Status
The project is completed
