2.2.5 Protection (CMPSS)

Most power electronics converters require protection from overcurrent event. For this design multiple comparators are required, and references for the trip must be generated, as shown in Figure 2-6.

GUID-A2981230-72B7-4680-94B1-61CEE2F98311-low.gifFigure 2-6 Trip Generation for PWM Using Comparators and Reference Generators

All this circuitry is avoided when using C2000 MCUs, such as TMS320F28377D, which have on-chip windowed comparator as part of the CMPSS that are internally connected to the PWM module that can enable fast tripping of the PWM. An on-chip windowed comparator saves board space and cost in the end application as extra components can be avoided using on-chip resources, as shown in Figure 2-7.
