Abstract(in English) Demands for more steady and more efficient direct voltage power supplies have been increasing in the context of energy conservation measures. Digital DC-DC converters are especially gathering attention because they have a high degree of reliability and flexibility. This paper addresses an FPGA-based control mechanism for a DC-DC converter. This approach enables programmability for a wide range of control algorithms while higher operational speed is anticipated. In this paper, we discuss required arithmetic precision and trade-off relationship between control accuracy and hardware costs through prototype implementation of an FPGA-based DC-DC converter. Evaluation of the prototype system reveals that fixed point arithmetic with 10-bit fraction part is enough in terms of dynamic characteristics. Design of a counter module which uses multiple phase-shifted clock signals to increase the PWM resolution while keeping the system clock frequency low is also discussed.
