SLUSAP2J March 2012 – November 2021 UCD3138
PRODUCTION DATA
The UCD3138x has an extensive set of fully-programmable, high-performance peripherals that make it suitable for a wide range of power supply applications. In order to make the part easier to use, TI has prepared an extensive set of materials to demonstrate the features of the device for several key applications. In each case the following items are available:
APPLICATION | EVM DESCRIPTION | |
---|---|---|
Phase shifted full bridge | This EVM demonstrates a PSFB DC-DC power converter with digital control using the UCD3138x device. Control is implemented by using PCMC with slope compensation. This simplifies the hardware design by eliminating the need for a series blocking capacitors and providing the inherent input voltage feed-forward that comes from PCMC. The controller is located on a daughter card and requires firmware in order to operate. This firmware, along with the entire source code, is made available through TI. A free, custom function GUI is available to help the user experiment with the different hardware and software enabled features. The EVM accepts a DC input from 350 VDC to 400 VDC, and outputs a nominal 12 VDC with full load output power of 360 W, or full output current of 30 A. | |
LLC resonant converter | This EVM demonstrates an LLC resonant half-bridge DC-DC power converter with digital control using the UCD3138x device. The controller is located on a daughter card and requires firmware in order to operate. This firmware, along with the entire source code, is made available through TI. A free, custom function GUI is available to help the user experiment with the different hardware and software enabled features. The EVM accepts a DC input from 350 VDC to 400 VDC, and outputs a nominal 12 VDC with full load output power of 340 W, or full output current of 29 A. |
