2 Introduction

This document presents how an AM263x MCU can be used for controlling the bidirectional DC-DC converter power stage of the ASIL D Safety Concept-Assessed High-Speed Traction, Bidirectional DC/DC Conversion Reference Design. This hardware is compatible with MCUs in an HSEC controlCARD™ format. While originally designed for the C2000™ MCU product family, this reference design can accept the AM263x controlCARD (TMDSCNCD263) also with minimal modifications. This reference design is useful for implementing a digitally peak current mode controlled (PCMC) phase shifted full bridge (PSFB) DC-DC converter which converts a 400V DC input to a regulated 12V DC output and vice-versa. Although the design is capable of performing bi-directional power conversion, the scope of this application note is limited to illustrate only high voltage to low voltage conversion, that is, step down operation. Novel PCMC waveform generation based on type-5 PWM and internal slope compensation, and simple PCMC implementation are the highlights of this design.
