| Abstract |
This work presents an improved Power Electronics Training Platform implemented with PIC microcontrollers. The original training platform, presented in [7], has been improved transferring to a FPGA circuit the control of peripheral components such as LCD displays, keyboards, A/D and D/A converters, and I/O ports. This control transfer reduces the computational load in the PIC, enabling the PIC to perform the main tasks in a faster and more precise way. These enhancements increase the usefulness of the Training Platform as a low cost training tool in a Power Electronics Laboratory. |
