Resumo:
This work describes a methodology for the development of the digital control of
power converters, where the whole structure – converter and control system – can be modeled in
the same environment through the hardware description language VHDL-AMS. This language
allows a behavioral description for the whole structure, so that the control system can be
simulated, tested and validated without the need of a prototype.
The portability of the VHDL language allows the implementation of the digital
control code in an ASIC or FPGA. Simulations results show the feasibility of the methodology
offering interesting possibilities in power converter control.
