To meet these application requirements, a digital SMPS controller may include fast, small analog-to-digital converters, hardware-accelerated programmable compensators, programmable digital modulators with very fine time resolution, and a standard microcontroller core to perform programming, monitoring and other system interface tasks. Based on recent advances in circuit and control techniques, together with rapid advances in digital VLSI technology, we conclude that high-performance digital controller solutions are both feasible and practical, leading to much enhanced system integration and performance gains. Examples of experimentally demonstrated results are presented, together with pointers to areas of current and future research and development.","PeriodicalId":303825,"journal":{"name":"2004 Proceedings of the 16th International Symposium on Power Semiconductor Devices and ICs","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124471387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
