Digital Control for Power Converters

Upcoming Dates

  • Not scheduled at this time. Click the course title for program description and contact information.

This advanced course bridges the gap between analog power electronics design and production-grade digital control implementation. Participants master the complete digital control design flow: from plant modeling and transfer function derivation, through z-domain compensator design, to practical fixed-point code deployment on microcontrollers and DSPs. The course covers digital control of DC-DC converters, three-phase inverters, and motor drives using MATLAB/Simulink for design validation and Qspice for circuit-level simulation.  Building on the RA00072 Intermediate Power Electronics course, this offering addresses the most in-demand skill gap in today’s power electronics workforce. Topics span average-current-mode control, voltage-mode control, state-space representation, discrete-time system analysis, anti-windup, dead-time compensation, and code generation for fixed-point processors. Participants leave with a complete digital control design toolkit applicable to EV drivetrains, renewable energy inverters, industrial motor drives, and data center power systems.
