Abstract Title : FPAA Based Power Electronics Controller Implementation
|
Abstract :
A Field Programmable Analog Array is an integrated device, which consists of configurable analog blocks of switched capacitors, comparators, and operational amplifiers that can be configured to implement analog circuits. This work demonstrates the use of FPAA technology for implementing P-Q Theory, a Power Electronics application used to reference harmonic current generation to drive an active filter controller. Also, the implementation of low pass Butterworth and Chebyshev filters is shown to demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of this chip for filter designs. Schematics of the circuits were simulated on ANADIGM Software2 for desired operations and then configured on the FPAA. The FPAA functionality was tested using a signal generator and scope. During this project, various advantages and disadvantages of FPAAs were also studied. With the use of FPAA technology the circuits were implemented with minimum hardware use and high speed response was achieved.
