Digitally Controlled DC/DC Converter

STATUS | Completed
STATUS DATE | 11/11/2024
ACTIVITY CODE | 4G.026

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
