PMP23338: Need Guidance on Modifying PMP23338 (Totem Pole PFC) Reference Design for Custom 7kW SiC-Based Configuration

Part Number: PMP23338
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F280049C

Tool/software:

Hi TI Team and Experts,

I’m designing a single-phase totem pole PFC circuit with the following specifications:

  • Input: 220VAC

  • Target Output: 400VDC

  • Power Rating: 7kW

  • Reference Design: PMP23338

  • Topology:

    • High-frequency switches: Four SiC MOSFETs (two pairs in parallel)

    • Low-frequency switches: Two SiC MOSFETs

  • Key Components:

    • Power inductor: 200 µH

    • Switching frequency: 65 kHz

I’ve imported the PMP23338 project into Code Composer Studio (CCS), but need assistance with three critical issues:

  1. Parameter Adaptation:
    How should I modify the project parameters (e.g., inductor value, switching frequency, MOSFET configuration, power stage scaling) to align with my 7kW custom design?

  2. Configuration File Clarification:
    I’m unable to fully interpret all parameters in main.syscfg. Could you explain the purpose of key registers (e.g., PWM, ADC, current/power limits, protection thresholds) relevant to high-power totem pole PFC control? 

  3. Missing Design Documentation:
    The reference design mentions a calculations.xlsx file for scaling factors, but I cannot locate it in the PMP23338 package. Where can I access this?

    • Note: My voltage/current sensing circuits have different scaling factors due to the 7kW power level, and I need to validate them.

Supporting Information:

  • Schematic and BOM are available upon request.

  • Controller: TMS320F280049C

  • Critical Design Challenge: Scaling PMP23338 (lower power) to 7kW with parallel SiC MOSFETs.

Thank you for your expertise!

Best regards,
Han.

  • Hello,

    1, these parameters are configured in main.syscfg

    2, Max Vbus = 3.3 / Vbus voltage sense gain

    Max Vin = 3.3 / Vin voltage sense gain

    current sense Max = 3.3 / current sense gain

    power limit is not used

    3, where did you see "the reference design mentions a calculations.xlsx file"?

    Regards,

  • Hi Sun,

    The question is that where can I modify these 'sense gain' parameters in the configuration?And the 'calculations.xlsx' file is mentioned in the red-boxed section of my attached image.

  • The code only needs these information, there is nowhere to modify "sense gain" in the code:

      

    the 'calculations.xlsx' statement is a residual item from a old project, should be removed.
