1 System Description

Modern major appliances demand high energy efficiency, small physical size, and lower costs while providing enhanced efficiency to consumers. Implementation of controlling a motor using sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) and digital totem pole PFC are illustrated. The overall Gallium Nitride (GaN) based system helps users to increase system efficiency, reduce board size, maximize power factor, precisely regulate the DC bus, and save development time. This reference design, based on the TMS320F280013x real-time controller family, provides a solid foundation for building robust control systems and accelerates development of advanced applications.

Totem pole PFC outperforms traditional boost PFC in terms of efficiency due to elimination of diode bridges and lower switching losses from high-performance GaN technology. GaN can also help to reduce boost inductor size by increasing switching frequency. Digitalized PFC enables straightforward regulation of DC bus voltage and effortless implementation of overvoltage, overtemperature, and overcurrent protection schemes.

The reference design integrates a dedicated, isolated, Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART) port for direct debug access from a high-speed Graphical User Interface (GUI) on laptops.
