This letter presents a powerful tool for the study of the performance of control strategies and consists of a versatile modulator capable of synthesizing triggering signals for various fixedfrequency and pulse width modulation controls based on a digital implementation. Among many other advantages, the approach provides a straightforward, flexible, and rapid means for prototyping because of its reprogramming capability and user-friendly interface. Field programmable gate array was chosen as the hardware platform because of the additional benefits it provides, such as high operating frequency and parallel processing capabilities. Several practical examples of its application demonstrate the utility of this approach.Index Terms-Asymmetrical voltage-cancellation control, control strategies, field programmable gate array (FPGA) digital control, pulsewidth modulation (PWM) control, voltage-fed inverters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
