Syllabus
- Week 1 - Introduction and Power Stage Design
Select a converter circuit approach for the bidirectional dc-dc converter to interface a lithium-ion battery pack to a USB load. Begin the design of the power stage components and LTspice simulation. - Week 2 - Power Stage Design and Documentation
Finish the design of the power stage components and the converter power stage LTspice simulation. Document your steady-state converter design for submission of Milestone 1. - Week 3 - Preliminary Controller Design
Develop an averaged model of your power converter. Select a control approach (voltage mode, peak current mode, or average current mode control), and begin the design of the control loop(s) to meet requirements on crossover frequency and maximum closed-loop out... - Week 4 - Preliminary Controller Design and Documentation
Complete development of an averaged model of your power converter, its control loop(s), and an LTspice averaged simulation. Document your control circuit design for submission to Milestone 2. - Week 5 - Complete Design
Begin development of an LTspice switching model of your closed-loop converter system, to verify that your system meets load current transient requirements. Improve your design as necessary. Begin addition of current limiting to your circuit. - Week 6 - Complete Design and Documentation
Complete development of an LTspice switching model of your closed-loop converter system, and verify that your system meets load current transient requirements. Complete the addition of current limiting to your circuit, to prevent inductor saturation during tra...
