The Filière Energie et Techniques environnementales (FET) has the digital systems course and labs in the 3rd (autumn) semester. The semester counts 15 weeks and ends with a little project. The aim of the inverter project is to generate a 50 Hz AC power supply from a DC input.
Specification
Function
The 12 V power supply is chopped by the power switches of an H-bridge in order to generate a sine wave. The resulting voltage is filtered by a passive LC filter to provide a smooth sine wave. The digital system generates the PWM controls of the 4 power switches.
An I/O board with 4 switches and 8 LEDs allows to control the operating mode and to display information about the system's state.
PWM modes
Different PWM modes are to be investigated:
- a two-level mode switching between 0 V and 12 V
- three-level modes switching between -6 V, 0 V and 6 V
Components
The system consists of
- an H-bridge power board
- an LC lowpass board
- an FPGA prototyping board
- an Buttons and LEDs I/O board for the control
H-bridge power board
The H-bridge board is powered with 12 V. The 4 MOS transistors are driven by 2 IR2110 driver circuits. The PWM controls are brought to the board via a ribbon cable.
This board is also used for an audio amplifier student project.
The 12 V power supply from this board is brought to the ribbon cable connector and is used to power the FPGA board as well.
LC lowpass board
The LC lowpass board is used in conjunction with the H-bridge power board.
The inductance has a value of L = 300 μH. The capacitor value can be chosen.
FPGA board
The main board is the school's FPGA-EBS lab development board. It hosts a Xilinx Spartan xc3s500e FPGA and features many different interfaces.
Buttons and LEDs I/O board
The Buttons and LEDs board is used in conjunction with the FPGA board.
It has 4 buttons and 8 LEDs. It can hold an optional LCD display.
Getting started
In order to start the projects you should do the following:
- Read carefully the specifications above
- Draw the architecture of the circuit in the form of a block diagram
- Consult the guides for the first steps into the design software
