Generation of PWM Schemes for Power Electronic Converters

Abstract

Advanced Digital Signal Processors (DSP) have the capability to generate complex Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signals for power electronics converter applications. Floating point processors like DS-1104, FPGA Spartan 6 are popular because of their capability of solving complex mathematics and MATLAB integration feature. But owing to larger space and higher cost requirement these processors can't be used as embedded processor. In this article low cost floating point DSP processor TMS320F28379D is tested for generating complex PWM signals. The result shows generation of PWM is easier and can be adopted for designing power electronics converters.
