Implications of Digital Control and Management for a High Performance Isolated DC/DC Converter (pdf)

Abstract: 
Application of digital control techniques in power conversion is a development that is receiving a significant amount of attention. Ericsson has been working extensively in this field and believes that digital approaches can provide an overall benefit to the power system designer. Using digital techniques within a power supply for the purposes of implementing the control loop and control/monitoring functions is referred to as “digital power control”. Digital power control is completely transparent to the user of the power supply, as all of the external interfaces may be kept the same as those of one implemented with a conventional analog control scheme, “Digital power management” refers to the usage of digital techniques at the system level to monitor and control individual power supplies. This paper will focus primarily on digital control within a Board Mounted Power Supply (BMPS), but reference will be made to the possibility of extending the subject design to include digital power management.
