Due to the increasing performance and decreasing price of microcontrollers in recent years, applying a high sampling frequency becomes more feasible in modern control that is known as multi-sampling technology. The first motivation to use multisampling is emulating the analog control, and thereby reducing the control delay and improving the stability of power electronics controllers. On the other hand, more information can be acquired from the multi-sampled current/voltage, which helps to save the cost and improve the reliability. In this paper, a review of the multi-sampling application in power electronics converters is provided. Starting from the control delay analysis in single/double-sampling control, the modelling, implementation and related control strategies are given when using multi-sampling pulse width modulation (PWM). Then, based on the multisampled data, the applications in condition monitoring and parameter estimation are discussed. Lastly, perspectives on challenges and future trends are discussed.
