Overview

The significant growth of data center power consumption led an increase in demand for highly efficient DC/DC brick converters with high power density. Isolated topologies are prevalent but control is difficult. A multiphase synchronous buck topology with coupled inductors have better load transient performance and are easier to control compared to isolated topologies like inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC). This reference design shows the control (Voltage mode) of power stage using a C2000™ microcontroller.

Features
  • 48V DC input, 12V DC output nominal, 2kW
  • 200kHz pulse width modulation (PWM) frequency switching
  • 200kHz interrupt service routine (ISR) frequency
  • Greater than 98% peak efficiency
  • Software frequency response analyzer (SFRA) and compensation designer for ease of tuning of control loop
  • Voltage mode control loop
  • Software support for F28P550 using driver library
