PID control in the UCD3138 CLA for current control loop in single-phase PFC is formed in the following equation in z-domain:
If Equation 3 is converted to the s-domain equivalent using the bilinear transform, the result has two forms. One is with two real zeros:
The two zeros can also be presented with complex conjugates and in such case,
Two complex conjugate zeros are expressed as:
The complex conjugate zeros become real zeros when:
The sensing circuit in the current loop forms a low-pass filter and adds a pole to the loop:
The current closed-loop transfer function is then shown below:
where
The parameters can be calculated with the assumption of current sensor sampling cycle TS much smaller than the time constant of the PFC choke LB and RB, where LB is the choke inductance and RB is the choke DC resistance. Choose the sampling frequency to meet:
When the above assumption is true, the delay effect from the sampling can be ignored and the parameters can be determined after we know where the poles and zeros should be positioned.
