ModusToolbox™ Power Suite TP-PFC Interleaved Converter Reference Code Example

This code example demonstrates how to use the ModusToolbox™ Power Suite PFC Library to build the TP-PFC interleaved power converter.

View this README on GitHub.

Requirements

• ModusToolbox™
• Programming language: C
• Associated parts: PSOC™ Control series

Supported toolchains (make variable 'TOOLCHAIN')

See RELEASE.md

Supported kits (make variable 'TARGET')

• PSOC™ Control C3M5 Digital Power Control Card (KIT-PSC3M5-CC1) + Low-voltage interleaved totem-pole PFC expansion board (KIT_PSC3_PFC1)

Hardware setup

This example uses the board's default configuration. See the kit user guide to ensure that the board is configured correctly.

Software setup

See the ModusToolbox™ tools package installation guide for information about installing and configuring the tools package.

This example requires no additional software or tools.

Operation

1. Connect the board to your PC using the provided USB cable through the on-board JLink USB connector
2. Select the application project in the Project Explorer
3. In the Quick Panel, scroll down, and click <Application Name> Program
4. After programming, the application starts automatically

Monitor/control using Power Suite GUI

• Connect either the USB0010 or USB008 device to the PC using USB cable, and to the Control Card using 3 wires (GND, CLK, and SDA)
• Launch the Power Suite GUI (...ModusToolbox/packs/ModusToolbox-Power-Suite-Early-Access-Pack/tools/power-suite-gui/Power Suite GUI.exe)
• Click the 'PMB' button at the top, it will show PMBus commands
• VOUT_COMMAND write e.g. 37 (slightly different from the initial/default voltage)
• ON_OFF_CONFIG write 0x9 and observe the app switched to PMBus control: there are 37V at PFC output (the VOUT_COMMAND value)

Note: Double-click the ‘Live Read’ checkbox at the bottom to refresh the Vout/Iout values

• To on/off the PFC operation write OPERATION 0x80/0x00 correspondingly

Note: OPERATION=0x00 (off) will work with any ON_OFF_CONFIG value, but OPERATION=0x80 (on) will work only with ON_OFF_CONFIG=0x9 (PMBus control)

• ON_OFF_CONFIG write 0x1 and observe the app switched to internal control: there is initial/default voltage at PFC output

Debugging

You can debug the example to step through the code.

Note: the PFC control loops cannot be step-by-step debugged on the fly with active live power conversion - this is a real-time process.

Use the <Application Name> Debug (JLink) configuration in the Quick Panel. For details, see the "Program and debug" section in the Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox™ user guide.
