UCD3138CC64EVM-030 help please

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UCD3138PSFBEVM-027

Hi everyone,

I am doing a project on a digital Power Factor Correction (PFC) Control System Design Based on UCD3138PFCEVM-026. The UCD3138PFCEVM-026 is a standalone boost PFC of single-phase AC input. The EVM UCD3138PFCEVM-026 is used together with its control card, UCD3138CC64EVM-030 to evaluate PFC. 

My problem is with controlling the UCD3138CC64EVM-030 board. its control is based on a voltage control loop and a current control loop, where a PI and a PID controller is used for each loop, respectively. I am suppose to calculate the PI and PID parameters based on a desired phase margin and crossover frequency for each loop. I am using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) software to upload these parameters into the control board.

Now, my problem is how can I calculate the parameters of the PI and PID controllers for a desired phase margin and crossover frequency ?

I have tried different methods and the results I am getting are always different than the results shown in the software. is there any documentation that shows how these values are actually calculated in the software?

Thanks in advance 

Regards

  • I do not know if it helps, but in the UCD3138PSFBEVM-027 there is some part showing how to convert your analog design into the parameters needed... The example is for the full bridge design, so you need to evaluate your analog poles/zeros in a different way. But the conversion should be the same...
