 Digital Control Design Steps
Choose the topology for each power stage.
Choose the location for the microprocessor: primary side or
secondary side.
Define the gate drive circuits.
Define the ADC signal conditioning circuits.
Choose the configuration of the timing hardware that implements
the PWM signals, ADC strobe and interrupt service routine (ISR)
timing.
Architect the firmware: time critical interrupts versus background
Implement the SW
Closing the loop digitally offers several advantages when bringing
up a system for debug.
Each stage can be enabled separately.
Loops can easily be run open-loop, usually by commenting out a
line of code.
Compensation parameters are quickly changed with a few
keystrokes.
Sophisticated diagnostics are possible, such as a circular buffers or
complex event triggers.

 Exploring Ideas / Methods for Good software

1. System Framework Background loop (C) + one ISR

(ASM) with Time-Slicing for control loop
2. In-line coding for the ISR
3. Assembly Macros for the control loop modules
4. Indirect or pointer based parameter passing / data flow
5. Signal Net based Module connectivity for the
analog guys!
 1 of 4
Exploring Ideas / Methods
1. System Framework

Good choice for addressing many power systems (even complex ones)
Simple to use and understand
Efficient (incurs only 1 ISR context save/restore)
Deterministic (all events synchronous and submultiples of ISR freq.)
High degree of visibility during debug and development
Back-ground loop (BG)
C / C++, large code, complex, feature rich, key customer differentiator
System intelligence / personality, heavy in if then else
Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) Main control loop
lean and mean in-line assembly (ASM) results in a very small footprint.
Typically Math function type code (very few if then else branches or loops)
Once developed, changes very little. Low maintenance burden.
