Embedded controller development for power converter applications

Overview

We will use a SEPIC circuit topology to show how to model and simulate a DC-DC converter. Using Simulink® and Simscape Electrical™ MathWorks engineers will show how to develop, simulate, and implement a controller that maintains desired output voltage in the presence of input voltage variations and load changes to achieve fast and stable response.

Highlights

• Modeling and simulating passive circuit elements, power semiconductors, and varying power sources and loads
• Simulating the converter in continuous and discontinuous conduction modes
• Determining power losses and efficiency of the converter
• Tuning the controller to meet rise time, overshoot, and settling time
