What do you feel when you design a power control system?

copyright 2011 controltrix corp www. controltrix.com

Lost on where to start ?

copyright 2011 controltrix corp www. controltrix.com

Going nuts over complex math and conversion?

Types

copyright 2011 controltrix corp www. controltrix.com

• Voltage mode control• Average Current mode control• Peak Current mode control

Control Modes

copyright 2011 controltrix corp www. controltrix.com

• Continuous Conduction mode• Discontinuous Conduction mode

Conduction Modes

copyright 2011 controltrix corp www. controltrix.com

• Time domain simulation requires external inputs :• desired voltage/current• Load profile/output voltage profile• Input voltage/source profile

Time Domain Simulation

copyright 2011 controltrix corp www. controltrix.com

• Dead time• Finite bandwidth of feedback network• Finite bandwidth of drive• Computational delays

Second Order Effects

copyright 2011 controltrix corp www. controltrix.com

• Any arbitrary input profile • Automatic parabolic interpolation• Raw time value data• Discontinuities

• Predefined functions with parametric rep• sine wave• rectified sine wave• square wave• Triangle/Sawtooth wave• constant

Function Specification

copyright 2011 controltrix corp www. controltrix.com

• Bode plot generation• Open loop response (phase and gain margin)• Closed loop response• Disturbance rejection (Output impedance)

• Comparison of analog and digital systems• Incorporates Computational delays• Incorporates Sensor and feedback network bandwidth limitation

Frequency Domain Simulation

copyright 2011 controltrix corp www. controltrix.com

• Dynamic triggering• Sampling and Measurement of feedback signals depend on the

instant at which signal is sampled• User selectable/code based triggering

ADC Triggering

copyright 2011 controltrix corp www. controltrix.com

• Generates usable C code• Calculation of gains and proper scaling• 16 bit fixed point implementation• Starting from ADC feedback to generation of PWM signal

Automatic Code Generation

copyright 2011 controltrix corp www. controltrix.com

• Simulate your code with the system model in time domain• Custom algorithm• Variable PWM PERIOD, duty, Ton and Toff• Peak current Ton reset• Valley current period reset• Individual settable min,max limits for PERIOD, Ton and Toff • ADC triggering from code

User Code Mode

copyright 2011 controltrix corp www. controltrix.com

On request optimized solution• Buck Boost / flyback converter • LLC series resonant converter• Power Factor correction (Low Load THD specs)• Motor drives
