CCS/UCD3138: UCD3138

Part Number: UCD3138
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TINA-TI

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

We are planning to understand the algorithms in the baseline code of UCD3138 for bridgeless PFC.

Do I have to open the firmware through CCS to edit compile & run without the hardware?

Our power stage is different: we need to understand how to & where to insert new code.

Is there a GUI through which we can enter these?

Is there a "model" tool we can use to develop code "auto" generated by running the model( as in matlab embedded coder suit- to which we do not have access)

If we have to  have the  PFC eval kit, how do it get it- from local reps?

thnx

  • Hi,

    You can compile the code without hardware, but you need hardware to run the code.
    You can only use CCS to modify code, GUI cannot modify the code
    We do not have "auto" code generation tool.
    You can order PFC EVM from TI website.

    got it.
    thnx for prompt response...I am trying to get out of a jam since I tried to use some other semiconductor company part but seems there is no support to modify their canned GUI.
    MY power stage is very innovative & new. So a lot need to be verified. Preferably through simulation with "real time" coding
    A very curious question: has there ever been any idea/method ,whatever ,in connecting TINA-TI open -loop power stage model with the CCS build output so that you connect the PWM output of the running project into the PWM node of the TINA-TI model & connect the "feedback " node from the TINA-TI model to the CCS running code?...this is almost "hardware-in-loop" type of thinking It would be really great to test out how the whole thing will work together even before making all the investment/time etc of a PCB. Any ideas how I can do that? Just imagine!
  • Robin,

    Please put your question to "Simulation and Models Forum", you will get help from the TINA-TI expert.
