An Overview of Implementation LAUNCHXL-F28069M for Power Electronics Converters by Using SIMULINK and PLECS

This article provides a hands-on approach for implementation of Texas Instruments™ (TI) LAUNCHXL-F28069M Digital Signal Processor (DSP) using different softwares such as Piecewise Linear Electrical Circuit Simulation (PLECS), MATLAB/SIMULINK and Code Composer Studio (CCS). These are widely used tools in power electronics converters control application in industry and also for research. In this work, step by step processes are given to embed the controller on the board by using each software. To further demonstration to use of ADC and pulse width modulation (PWM), a closed loop PI control structure for buck converter is implemented, which provides a very close tracking of the reference signal. The hands-on implementation process will be very helpful for the beginners of this board. Implementation of different blocks such as ADC and PWM are described.
