Synopsis:
This project describes an
engineering project with simulation for a
digital control module of the DC/DC Phase-shift
Full Bridge Converter by using FPGA (Field
Programmable Gate Array) in Xilinx environment
with VHDL codes. The digital control module is
developed to control the dead-time (Td) to
achieve the ZVS (Zero Voltage Transition) in the
Full-Bridge DC/DC converters and it is also able
to shift the phase of the PWMs (PWMA,PWMB,PWMC,PWMD)
with Tf to adjust the duty-cycle of the DC/DC
converter by feedback to regulate the output
voltage. This digital control module with FPGA
technology will be used on the future research
for the digital-control power architecture as to
compare the performance with other digital
controllers (DSP ,Micro controller).
