Design methodologies and programmable devices used in power electronic converters — A survey This paper presents a review of the state of the art of the design methodologies for Hardware (HW) and Software (SW) for design of the digital control system in power electronic converters. This paper presents also a review of programmable electronic devices used in applications including powerconverters: Microcontroller (μC), Digital Signal Controllers (DSC), Digital Signal Processors (DSP) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). This paper presents relevant concepts for electronic powerconverters developers. However, concepts and information presented can also be used in other applications that require the design of embedded systems. Finally, this paper also presents the case study of the development of the control system of a three-phase inverter, using the system-level design methodology.
