2.7 POWER RATING OF CONVERTER STAGESThe Digital Power Starter Kit is designed to be a self-contained power supply with each converter having three on-board resistive loads. Each converter includes one resistive 0.5W load and two resistive 1.25W loads for a total of 3W when the converters are programmed to their nominal output voltages only. See Figure 1-2 for more details on hardware configuration.

2.7.1 Buck ConverterThe Buck converter stage is rated for a maximum of 5W. However, the maximum on-board configurable resistive load is 3W. The output voltage and output current should remain within its Safe Operating Area (SOA) to avoid damage to the board, as shown in the graph in Figure 2-4. The output voltage of the Buck converter (BUCK_Out) can be programmed from a 2.4V to 3.84V output, with a default programmed voltage of 3.3V. The hardware gain, 3.16k/(3.16k + 1k + 20), of the voltage feedback from the BUCK_Out is provided by the resistor divider network, R97 and R105. Additionally, a 20 Ohm resistor, R90, for bode plot measurements is also in series with the feedback network. The hardware gain of the current feedback is provided by the current transformer (T1) with turns ratio (1:125) and burden resistor, R69.

FIGURE 2-4: BUCK CONVERTER SOA CURVE

Note: The output voltages should not be programmed to exceed their nominal values when using the on-board resistive loads as this can cause the resistive loads to exceed their power handling capabilities, leading to potential damage of the board.

2.7.2 Boost ConverterThe Boost converter stage is rated for a maximum of 5W. However, the maximum on-board configurable resistive load is 3W. The output voltage and output current should remain within the Boost converter Safe Operating Area (SOA) to avoid damage to the board, as shown in the graph in Figure 2-5. The output voltage of the Boost converter (BOOST_Out) can be programmed from a 13.4V to 17.8V output, with a default programmed voltage of 15V. The hardware gain, 1k/(1k + 5.1k + 20), of the voltage feedback from the BOOST_Out is provided by the resistor divider network of R41 and R51. Additionally, a 20 Ohm resistor, R30, for bode plot measurements is also in series with the feedback network. The hardware gain of the current feedback is provided by the current sense resistors, R6 and R61.

Chapter 3. Demonstration Program Operation

The dsPIC33 ‘GS’ on the Digital Power Starter Kit is preprogrammed with Peak Current Mode control application software that illustrates simultaneous 2-Pole, 2-Zero (2P2Z) compensator control of the output voltage for the two DC/DC converter circuits. This code can be downloaded from the Microchip web site (www.microchip.com).This section covers the following topics:• Program Demonstration• Code Demonstration• Other Code Examples

3.1 PROGRAM DEMONSTRATIONThe demonstration program provides simultaneous closed-loop control of the output voltage for both DC/DC converter stages of the Digital Power Starter Kit.The 2P2Z control loop controls the Buck converter output voltage to 3.3V and the Boost converter output voltage to 15V.The 2P2Z control scheme consists of the following parameters:• Reference – Desired set point for the output voltage• Error – Calculation of (Reference – Feedback). This is the value the compensator

acts upon• System Plant – This is the converter being controlled• Output – Either the output voltage or current• Feedback – The measured output signal levelPlease refer to Section 3.2.4 “2P2Z SW Control Compensator” for further details.The demonstration program requires no manual preparation except to connect 9V to the J2 connector.

Demonstration Program Operation

3.2 CODE DEMONSTRATION

3.2.1 System InitializationWhen power is applied to the board, the program starts by executing the following system initialization routines:• Peripherals – The required peripherals (PWM, ADC, Comparators, I2C™ module,

Timers and GPIO) are configured and enabled.• Interrupts – Include ADC(s), Timer(s), I2C and comparator(s) interrupts.• Loads – Can be configured for either Static mode or Dynamic mode. If Dynamic

mode is selected, a switching frequency can be configured in application SW.

3.2.2 Fault CheckThe program checks for any Faults that might have occurred during program operation. The Fault checks include the following:• Input Over/Undervoltage • Buck/Boost Converter Overtemperature• Buck/Boost Soft StartIf any of the listed Faults occur, the corresponding Fault will be shown on the LCD display. The corresponding PWM signals and loads are disabled until the Fault condi-tion has been cleared. Fault checks are dispersed throughout all the interrupts. If no Fault condition is detected, the program proceeds.

3.2.3 Soft StartThe Soft Start routine ramps up the output voltage in a closed-loop fashion until it is at the programmed output voltage value. This routine ensures that the output does not overshoot the desired voltage.

3.2.4 2P2Z SW Control CompensatorThe 2-Pole, 2-Zero (2P2Z) controller implemented in SW is the digital implementation of the Analog Type II controller. This filter maintains regulation of the output voltage and ensures stability during different line/load conditions. This controller requires three feedback errors, multiplied by their associated coefficients, plus the two latest controller output values, multiplied by their associated coefficients, along the delay line to provide proper compensation of the power converter. The coefficients are determined externally using simulation tools.Reference the smps_2p2z_dspic.s library and smps_control.h header files in the DPSK software package for further implementation details.

3.2.5 System While (1) LoopThe LCD refresh functions are called within the system Idle routine. The routine refreshes the LCD screen based on both user input (SW1) and converter feedback (Fault flags/VIN measurement/converter output voltage). All Fault display updates are performed in the system Idle loop routine, as well as the toggling of the displayed measurements as the results of pressing SW1.
