3.3 Introduction to the TIDM-DC-DC-BUCK

The TIDM-DC-DC-BUCK solution illustrates how to implement Digital Power control on C2000 MCUs. It is used in TIDM-02011 to illustrate LFU. Notable features of this solution are mentioned below:

  • Runs on a TMS320F28004x dual-bank Flash MCU clocked at 100MHz

    This reference design TIDM-02011 also adds support for the above TIDM-DC-DC-BUCK example to run on a TMS320F28003x MCU (containing up to 3 Flash banks) clocked at 120MHz.

  • The control loop ISR runs at 200kHz. Refer to BUCK_DRV_EPWM_SWITCHING_FREQUENCY in buck_settings.h
  • A series of background tasks run when the Control loop ISR is not executing:
    • It rotates between A, B, and C type tasks
    • A type tasks run at 1kHz rate (rotates between A1, A2, A3 functions)
    • B type tasks run at 100Hz rate(rotates between B1, B2, B3 functions)
    • C type tasks run at 10Hz rate (rotates between C2, C2, C3 functions)
  • The ISR as well as select Background task functions run from RAM.
