XILINX FPGA design for Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) control of Single-phase Matrix Converter

This paper is concerned on Xilinx FPGA design for SPWM control of Single-Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC). The Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) technique is used to synthesize the output voltage. The power circuit uses the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) as switching device in the SPMC implementation. Safe-commutation strategy was incorporated to solve switching transients. A Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) was used at the heart of the control electronics, implemented to verify operation. Selected simulation and experimental results are presented.
