E3 252 3:1 Embedded System Design For Power Applications: Course Content

The document outlines the course content for an Embedded System Design for Power Applications course, which will cover topics such as digital signal controllers, field programmable gate arrays, communication protocols, analog sensing, feedback control design, and co-design of processors and reconfigurable hardware for power conversion systems. Students will be graded based on midterms, a final exam, and laboratory work developing an embedded system with a digital signal controller and FPGA to control a bi-directional power converter. Prerequisites for the course include undergraduate analog electronics, digital electronics, and classical feedback control theory.

miliarity with micro-processor, digital signal processing and previous experience in programming will
be helpful but not a necessity.

Note: Due to high speed requirement, the communication between the DSC and the FPGA is
parallel instead of serial as shown in the above figure. Usually it is a part of externally mapped memory
of the DSC controlled by DMA (Dynamic Memory Allocator) and the actual physical memory (DP
RAM) is located inside the FPGA chip.
