An overvoltage protection mechanism is implemented in software for this BL PFC EVM. The sensed DC bus output voltage from the ADC input is compared against the overvoltage protection threshold set by the user. The default OV threshold set point is 440 V. This threshold parameter is labeled as VBUS_OVP_THRSHLD inside the file BridgelessPFC-Settings.h. In case of an OV condition the PWM outputs are shut off using the TZ (trip zone) registers. The flexibility of the trip mechanism on C2000 devices provides the possibilities for taking different actions on different trip events. In this project both PWM outputs will be driven low in case of a trip event. Both outputs are held in this state until a device reset is executed.
